Unidentified Aircraft

Narrow-body four-engined airliner over Departure Hall, Pulkovo 2 Airport (LED/ULLI), St. Petersburg. Probably a CGI as this shape is close to older airfames such Boeing 707/720 or Convair 880.

Butch's home is in fact this Ilyushin Il-18 (or an Il-20M if the fairing is original -but in this case, the SLAR housing under the fuselage is missing-).

Registration RA-75678 (?) not found on databases.

Various Paintings

When Butch left his painting, and goes to the main room, we can see paintings and illustrations of ...

North American T-6

Wearing code Red 7723.

Lockheed F-117

WSK PZL-Mielec TS-11 Iskra

Under the cover. At left, the nose of an Aero L-29 Delfin.

Trimotor

A shape similar to the first CANT Z.1007 (Italian bomber of World War Two) but dropping from high altitude with such an old aircraft has no sense in the 21st century !

Antonov An-2

Sukhoi Su-27

Mikoyan MiG-29UB

It's easy : Good Guys are piloting Sukhoi Su-27s but the Mikoyan MiG-29s are manned by Bad Guys.

Despite action is over Syria and acted by Soviet and Iranian aircrafts, we have these two glimpses of Slovakian aircrafts.
