Bangladesh Army Piaggio P-136-L1 with strange insignia on fin.
I think I finally have a decent up-close image of the new Mozambique air force roundel. I have also attached the roundel that is on this Tupolev Tu-134AK.

I have a mysterious photo of a Boeing 707-023. It is purportedly from the Dubai Air Wing, but I am not sure of this. The DNATA vehicle parked by the nose is a clue, though. DNATA stands for Dubai National Air Transport Association. Can anybody help with the origin, the aircraft registration number on the rear fuselage, as well as the logo on the tail? Thanks!
Actually, the story about the San Marino Ayres Thrush is a bit more involved… https://theintercept.com/2016/04/11/blackwater-founder-erik-prince-drive-to-build-private-air-force/
Here’s a weird one- a San Marino Ayres Thrush 510G. Note the blue-and-white national flag on the rudder, and the T7- international aircraft registration prefix for San Marino.
Model of the Argentine Rebel Meteor from Dan Hagedorn’s book.
Dan Hagedorn’s great book “Latin American Air Wars 1912-1969” covers the revolution extensively. There have been a number of coups d’etat in Argentina through the years. Here is a profile of some of the aircraft in the pictures above.
The FTC-2000 looks rather familiar from many angles… The Chinese are determined to wring everything they can out of the basic MiG-21 design, aren’t they?
Another image from Dan Hagedorn’s book. Paraguayan Potez 25TOE with star roundels.
I had no idea about this one- thanks!
I think that Dan Hagedorn’s book Latin American Air Wars and Aircraft 1912-1969 has a picture of a Potez 25 wearing that roundel.
Paraguay, Potez 25.
Note that the Colombian medevac Gavilan 358 has no star in its roundel.
The Kurdish flag on the Mi-171 is not painted, it’s fabric. See the shadow cast by the underside of the flag onto the fuselage.
