Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Right.... spionage...... :roll: You are a real expert I see.
And how did they do this then, flying formation of Soviet AF 76's over Europe and hope that they won't be noticed?

It was fitted with glazing under the nose for use by a navigator, handy for getting map references and for observing parachute cargo drops.

Until recently, Russian navigators performed their job "à vue", (with eyes and maps!!!)...
but the Il-76 could too carry 500 kg bombs ont external hardpoints !!!!!

Aircrafts to and from the Romeo's are instructed to shutdown the engines before entering and starting up the engines when clear of the Romeo platform due to construction work.
