    Zege, thanks a lot, especially for MiG-21s!

    If you have more photos from the past - it would be great to see them.

    ...late 80's a new airline was formed. It used name Air Botnia until January 1, 2004. These days company uses name Blue1. When they started, they flew night cargo flights on behalf of the Finnish Post Office. Maybe they thought it was not so important for the cargo how planes looks like :D Plane has hydrid colos of former owner of the Bandeirante (Blue c/s comes from Finnaviation) and brown was more and less same which Air Botnia's Bandeirantes later would get.

    It would be so much fun to see 21's flying again and also those great drakens. Both were replaced by hornets many years ago so i think it won't happen. When did Russia withdraw it's mig-21's?

    Well, I'm glad if you guys like those.

    Here is another "movie star" :D OH-LCH was painted, or maybe more like taped over to look like Soviet DC-3 back in 40s. However, real c/s would be dark green. But owners of the aircraft were not excited about the idea that this silver would be painted over green. So instead to make this green, film makers taped over blue line and make it look all silver c/s.
