The Soviet AF colours were applied in Australia in 2007. As far as I know, there are no records of this aircraft actually having flown as such before the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, aircraft no. 332514 definitely was delivered to the Soviet AF as 64 red, so it is not unlikely that 33516 actually served as 66 red in the 1980s.
