The Swifts (Russian: Стрижи, romanized: Strizhi) is an aerobatic demonstrator team of the Russian Air Force which was formed on 6 May 1991. The team performed at the Oulu International airshow with four MiG-29 (coded 43, 44, 46, 48) and two MiG-29UBs (coded 33, 34). The overall light gray MiGs, with blue tails and fuselage stripes, arrived from homebase Kubinka airbase near Moscow, via Siversk air base in Russia to Oulu (Finland). Here the demonstration team is nicely lined up at the civil tarmac of Oulu. Unfortunately, the c/n's of the MiGs remain unknown to me (anyone??)
