Is the above is a Angolan A/C? A good site for the SU 27 http://www.milavia.net/aircraft/su-27/su-27_ops.htm

This does not look like the Uzbek plane, looks more like a Russian airshow Flanker (I cannot recall which at the moment)...look at the splinter camouflage, reminds me of a Su-30 some years back.

I have no idea what it is....I looked all over for the Su-27 and can't find any camo pics of the Uzbek.
If i remember right they only got like 30 something Su-27's for their Air Force.
This picture here was sent to me from a buddy at work......So i have no info on it.

I think the picture shows this same bird:
two shots close to the previous photo (suggesting it was taken at the same time, from the same spot)

It will be nice to have that particular "splinter camo" scheme on a future Flanker (hopefully it's an Su-30MK tandem seater variant) release from Witty!

Yep you can tell with the Airliners net picture it has a Red star on the tail.Also notice the gear is a little different angle..So that one i posted may not a Uzbek either.
Well then i guess were out of luck finding a Uzbek camo Su-27 pic huh...??
Now the tan camo pictures look pretty cool...Be a nice one to make.

Maybe they could finally get the canopy right on this one (Su-30MK), who knows... Witty has this serious continuing problem with modern jet canopies/windshields (well, their F-16s look OK).

It's not. The Uzbek AF acquired approx 25 Su-27s and 6 Su-27UBs.

I kept searching for that image i got and found it on this site:http://dawnsearlylight.blogs.com/del...ina/index.html
It does seem to be a Su-30 and not 27 ...those two sure look alike.
