NICARAGUA ‘then & now’..
by Googeling through the Air Force’s, I’ve recently discovered this less-known roundel ;
………………………………………………….at first for this DC-3 ;[ATTACH=CONFIG]219833[/ATTACH]
…….[ATTACH=CONFIG]219834[/ATTACH]…………….[ATTACH=CONFIG]219835[/ATTACH]……….and even a ‘rural’ version ;[ATTACH=CONFIG]219836[/ATTACH]
in Wikipedia, there is also another (former)simplified triangle version ;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaraguan_Air_Force
For the Sandinista A/F, using the present roundel, see mainly the full explanations & many views in acig.org ;[ATTACH=CONFIG]219839[/ATTACH]
………………….And now, this is my ‘today’s’ question ; I’d just like to see color photos (in flight ๐ ) (hello Archangelski ๐ ) of these rarities ;

with thanks to Dennis Jones !
Albanian Air Force
Etienne, have you already seen that (bad) movie ? Many Albanian jets in flight
Really, it’s an interesting ‘publicity’ movie !
Never seen before… thanks thus, Archangelski :applause:
friendly, Etienne
(Sorry Etienne, not always jets and no in-flight pictures till now !)
Thanks, but no problem, Archangelski… I’m patient, I can wait …
friendly, Etienne
just seen your Afghanistan roundel, many thanks… !
Albanian flag..
Yes, Greg, I’ve “well” seen the flag in ;
Note the Albanian flag on the tail of the Il-14 in the background of the H-5/Il-28 picture.
But, I prefer this recent ‘red’ view, at the Tirana Airport ;http://www.tirana-airport.com/?RoseToken=155169220193083155173199198142164107238201157082164160143095145154156152154155089156156154160214184090168180231crc508
friendly, Etienne
(you’re right, Gerard, that Il-14 was a VIP version )
Surinamese PC-7’s
searching for some pics, I’ve found this historical info, in a KP thread….:rolleyes: ;
flex297
I know of three PC-7s in Suriname.. But since PC-7s are being listed as active in Surinamese service, there must have been some other aircraft, too..
#479 HB-HMN, serial 111
#480 HB-HMQ, serial 112
#481, serial 113delivered Oct 1985, returned to Pilatus Mar 1987..

thanks to you all, Albanian-searchers !!!!
indeed, their roundel changed in 1991, if I’m right..
Yes, Archangelski ;
Google is a good solution but threads friends too : (KERVYN, if you want more, simply ask) but, as GERARD say, rarity in flight !
(my first name is Etienne ; yes, you may…)
(see also your p.m. box)
I .. ‘just & only’ ask you to find one rarity IN FLIGHT…:D
