Yes, that is the Mi-8T I was talking about. It appeared to be in a visibly less flyworthy condition, though.
Greatly appreciated.

The Hind was rather mundane looking, typical Russian/Ukrainian/ex-CIS scheme with the CAR roundel being on the typical place behind the wings. Judging from the few seconds aired it appeared to be in a quite useful condition (unless the many refugees surrounding it have stripped all hardware in the meantime which is quite possible). Will keep on looking.

Here’s the Mi-24. Captured the still image from the video you mentioned. Very interesting- never knew they had them.

The Marshall Islands 228 is not military never has been. I’ve been flying through Majuro/Kwaj for over 20 years seen their different aircraft and talked to their pilots. Said they keep an eye out for boats but that’s about it.

Agreed, but threw it in there because it was the closest I could come to an example with authentic Marshall Islands markings. Also, oftentimes very small countries use civilian and commercial aircraft for quasi-military uses, such as you said, keeping eyes out for boats. Also, commercial cargo and passenger aircraft are used at times by small countries to ferry military personnel. In addition, private aircraft are at times commandeered by military forces for their own use. Sometimes there’s a somewhat thin line between what constitutes military aircraft and private, civilian, and commercial aircraft. In addition, there are governmental aircraft, such as the UK Fisheries and the Saudi Ministry of Information examples, that aren’t technically military aircraft. Got to admit that the colors on the Marshall Islands Do-228 look pretty sharp, though. Also, the Sao Tome example isn’t a military example, either, but I imagine the same considerations apply to it as well. Given that it was the first example of an aircraft sporting their national marking, I decided to include it as well.

OK about xairforces !!! but here the roundels seem to be real :

This one’s almost 100% certainly Photoshopped, too. Note what appears to be the “Royal Australian Air Force” title on the forward fuselage, as well as the dark cheat line extending back to what appears to be an RAAF roundel. Note also what appears to be a poorly executed attempt to overlay a bad rendition of the CAR flag on the fin over a call-sign ending with a “5”. The color scheme also appears to be very suspect; I have never seen any other CAR aircraft in what appears to be a natural-metal finish. I would take most images this guy posts with a rather large grain of salt, as they say.

no problem for the tail, of course :rolleyes:

BUT for ‘the’ roundel on the wing…. I’m really intrigued !! …. it looks like a Czech one… & maybe IT IS a Czech one !!!!:D

friendly, Etienne

It’s the new Chadian roundel! I’ve confirmed it with John Cochrane, the author of the book Military Aircraft Insignia of the World. By the way his two-volume second edition will be published this coming spring. It will be greatly expanded from the first edition, and should be really fantastic! I believe you can pre-order it now on amazon.com.

Neither the roundel nor the background seem to have something to do with Mozambique. More an European country for me and roundel seems to look more like a Romanian one than anything else.
Maybe those two Albatrosses used by Mozambican pilots in Romania (Air International of december).

Yeah, it’s almost certainly Romanian. Could be Chad, but first, this doesn’t make much sense, and two, Chad has a new insignia very similar to the Czech roundel, except in Chadian colors.
