This is a very interesting picture of a Dasault Falcon 50 that I found at Holguin airport
It,s from Venezuela, it belongs to SATA a branch of the Venezuelan Air Force,
it was purchased by Hugo Chavez for Fidel Castro to used, It’s YV-1128, but also YV-1129 has been used by Fidel in his bi-weekly trip to La Ochila Island in Venezuela, Fidel may not be to happy with me for posting this picture here.
These are pictures from the other actuve air base in Cuba, Holguin.
Here you can see the 4 alert shelter at the base.
You can also see a MiG-23MF in one of the Shelter.
Yes Flex297 got it.
Those MiG-17 and MiG-15 are ex Cuban DAAFAR planes at a shooting range for planes at Las Crucecitas, east of Cienfuegos.
I have about three pictures of that place and it was used by Mig-21BIS and MiG-23BN from the regiment UM 1890 at Santa Clara air base for target practice, that base is now closed.
The Regiment at San Antonio de los Baños UM 1779 used another shooting range, south of Havana called Playa Tomate, and for the regiment at Holguin UM 1724 used Lesca north of Camaguey, however none of these two sites has any planes there.
The last pictures is of a Cuban DAAFAR Mi-17 from the Holguin airbase, this picture was taken after a drug boost near Cayo Coco.Luis

I looking for pictures of operational Cuban Air Force planes.
I have seen some from a Museum, but I’m looking for operational planes, like the Mig-29,23, 21 helicopters like Mi-8, 14, 17, 24 and Ka-28.
Thanks Luis
I’ll put two resent pictures that I found of a Cuban MiG-29UB, the onlyone that remains active, the Serial is FAR 900, by the way this plane has two stars painted on it for what they called victories, the shooting down of two Brothers to the Rescue planes.
