A nice flying egg on the static! HH-5 was delivered to the Ilmavoimat on 4 July 1983 as former OH-HAY. It served the KuljLLv from 1990 and the HekoLtue from 1997 onwards.

The Swifts (Russian: Стрижи, romanized: Strizhi) is an aerobatic demonstration team of the Russian Air Force which was formed on 6 May 1991. The team performed at the Oulu International airshow with four MiG-29 (coded 43 (as pictured), 44, 46, 48) and two MiG-29UBs (coded 33, 34).
