This one caught me by surprise, a withdrawn from use MIG-29 at the home of the American Fighter Pilot. It is one of 21 bought by the USAF from the Republic of Moldova in 2002 (ex 16 white, still carried on the fin tip), to keep them out of hands from potential enemies. They were shipped to Wright-Patterson AFB and this one ended up on display at Nellis AFB.

A Feb'92 built Mi-8, once registered CCCP-27029 with Liana. The Mi-8 became ER-MHK with Scorpion Air of Bulgaria on 17 Apr'02 and this registration was cancelled on 17 Sep'02. The Moldovan AF took the helo on strength as "01" black from 30 Sep'02. It was noticed as such during this Partnership for Peace ex. It became again ER-MHK, this time with the UN from Feb'03. It carried a full white UN c/s with 'UNHAS' at Kabul. It returned to Moldova in Jan'04 and poss became "01" black again and ER-MHK again from 02 Jul'04. From 16 May'05 it was sold as UR-CIN and... ER-MHK Aerop. Marcul in Aug'13.

Rare and therefore nice participant during Co-operative Key 2005
