Stately take-off on runway 31 for another training session. One of three of these awesome machines seen in service

I was surprised just how active the Air Force was during my short visit to Yangon - here a MiG-29 returns to Mingadalon AB after a training mission. Great to capture these rare markings

Taxiing back to base having dropped off its braking 'chute on exiting the runway

I could not believe my luck when this came into view on approach - simply one of the best subjects of my entire photo career, and in perfect conditions

At least 36 of the Chinese reverse-engineered MiG-21 copy are thought to have been obtained by Burma from 1991 along with some two-seat trainers, a number being upgraded by Israel around 1997

Very rare sighting of a Myanmar AF Porter, one of seven delivered in the late 1970s
