One of six Kubinka Wing MiG-29 ‘Fulcrums’, four ‘Fulcrum As’ and two ‘Fulcrum Bs’, which flew to Reims, France, on 13 May 1991 for a goodwill visit to Mirage F.1 - equipped ECTT.2/30 which flew with the Soviet Air Force during World War Two. The aircraft, which included this example, coded 44, carry the colours of the new Soviet ‘Swifts’ aerobatic team which will fly four of the type. Intake badge depicts the unit insignia, a stylised Swift over an orange disc - an encouraging practice which the Soviets are now considering adopting as standard. A second team, ‘Blue Lightning’ with six Su-27 ‘Flankers’, has also been formed.
