Only ten EMB-312 Tucano's are believed to be delivered to the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps Air Force. At Kish four of these were present, they belong to the training squadron of the IRGCAF, based at Shiraz air base (Iran) and prepare student strike fighter pilots (Su-22, Su-25) for their mission.

Iranian student pilots start basic flying in the Swiss made Pilatus PC-7. The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) ordered up to 80 PC-7s but after the US sanction against the country were activated during the late 1970s, only 35 were delivered.

Little is known about the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps Air Force (IRGC) Harbin Y12 fleet. Twelve aircraft are believed to be delivered, of which five are standard Y12s and seven are Y12-IIs. In IRGCAF service, the fleet is assigned to the "Support Squadron" with detachments all over Iran, but the main operating base is Shiraz/Shahid Dastghaib International Airport. This 2245 served at Kish as transport aircraft for a para jump display.

The Iranian Saeqeh is a modified F-5E. This 3-7368 was one of the three prototypes in the Iranian modification programme in which the F-5 received a v-shaped twin tail (why oh why?). This 3-7368 was first noted as Saeqeh in late 2008 as serial/construction number S110-003. The aircraft was then painted in a blue prototype color scheme, since September 2015 the aircraft was repainted in the standard F-5 colors and assigned to 23 TFS as an operational aircraft at Tabriz air base (Iran).

The Iranian Saeqeh is a modified F-5E. This airframe served as one of the three prototypes. The Iranian modification programme in which the F-5 received a v-shaped twin tail (why oh why?) like the F/A-18 Hornet, started somewhere around 2005. This 3-7367 was first noted as Saeqeh in September 2007 as serial/construction number S110-002. The aircraft was then painted in a blue prototype color scheme, since April 2015 the aircraft was repainted in the standard F-5 colors and assigned to 23 TFS as operational aircraft at Tabriz air base (Iran).

I don't normally shoot aircraft without sun but very occasionally there have to be exceptions. Iran Airshow 2005 was not the most inspired event I ever attended...there were hardly any aircraft there!
