Cuba ordered ten T-28As, numbered 150 to 159. Following the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro's Revolutionary Air Force (FAR) tried to get these Trojans delivered through Air International in Miami, but this did not go ahead. Some of them are seen here in FAR markings. It is unlikely that they have anything to do with anti-Castro rebel flights, as the source suggests. Joe Baugher's website gives FY 1949 serials for the ten T-28As, but not tie-ups. Photo by: Hank Walker / Life

One of the two Mi-2 Hoplites of the Latvian Air Force seen over the Daugava river close to Lielvarde air base.

Shortly before moving to Hamburg-Finkenwerder in Germany for display.

This Vultur/Orao made its last flight around 1997 and was then stored at the airbase in Craiova, Romania. Fortunately, in autumn 2006 the plane was dismantled and transported to Košice by road for display at the at the Múzeum Letectva Košice.

For me this is an Orao, but the Yugoslav and Romanian brother peoples could not even find a common name for their joint attack aircraft. Nationalism ran so high that first flights had to take place on the same day at Batajnica and Bacău on 31 October 1974. The Yugoslav civil war did terminate Romanian production in 1992 and the type was retired from Romanian service in 1998.
