Baltic history on the inlets of the Bees, linked to the registration. Hercogs Jékabs (Jacob Kettler) was a 17th century Duke with many accomplishments during his 40-year life. "Zelta Zirgs" means as much as "the Golden Horse", the name of a play based on the very old, widespread tale of The Princess on the Glass Hill. YL-KSZ is c/n 934640.

Someone is having his back warmed. This always impressive freighter was delivered as CCCP-78815 in July 1989 and first seen in eastern Germany the following year. Still based in Novgorod, it became RA-78815 in 1993 and received the basic Aeroflot colours in 2010. The RF-serial was likely applied in 2015.

On each flying day, this pair would be part of a formation trailing a tanker, and return afterwards for one low pass. In the #2 position here is 3-6052 (٣-۶۰۵۲, BuNo 160350). Iran's Tomcats were delivered in the 1970s, like its other American equipment still in use.

Among the earliest Phantoms for Iran, registered in the USA as 69-7730 and delivered as 97730. Does not wear the old serial and has a slightly different colour scheme from the rest, as well as a somewhat different font for the titles. The serial in Farsi is on the small nose intake on this side, hardly visible in green on black.

Strizhi support aircraft arriving some five minutes after the MiGs. In May 2018, the guns were still in the tail turret, so they must have been removed not too long before this visit to Iran.
