NOVEDADES: 
Ayer 28 de Diciembre se celebró en España el día de los Santos Inocentes. Con tal motivo es costumbre gastar bromas, asi que deliberadamente evité publicar nada para evitar meteduras de pata. Con todo, no tengo explicación para esta foto. Ignoro porque el T-50 "052" vuela con la deriva del "051". Si no es photoshop, obviamente se ha "canibalizado" del otro avión, pero... ¿Por qué?. ¿Qué incidente ha provocado la sustitución de la deriva del "052"? ¿Y por que no hay una pieza nueva para cambiarla, no se está fabricando?... misterio.
Otro misterio de Zhukovskii. Mig-29M2 o Mig-35. Desde luego no es un KUB ya que no tiene pértiga de reabastecimiento en vuelo ni gancho de apontaje, ni es para la India. El foro de russianplanes dice que puede ser para Siria... raro, raro.
Foto antigua, del año 2.006 pero inédita y muy interesante. Antonov An-22 no se si cargando o descargando un Mig-23ML libio.
An-22 en Silac, Eslovaquia. No es un airshow asi que probablemente también esta o cargando o descargando algún avión o helicóptero. Precioso avión al que se puede describir con una palabra INMENSOOO. Bonita foto.
La ya famosa y polémica cola con más detalles.

Avro CF-100 Canuck — Canada's first and Canada's last
Avro CF-100 Canuck — Canada's first and Canada's last:
Avro CF-100 Canuck — Canada’s first and her last
A.V. Roe and Company, Avro, gave the world many fine aircraft. Not the least of these aircraft are the Lancaster and Vulcan with their Canadian subsidiary assisting in the manufacturing of many of the aircraft, especially in WW II.
The Canuck is historic for its trend setting, serving as an integral part of the new defense system called NORAD in the 1950s, and was designed for a single purpose — as an interceptor to vie against strategic bombers flying over the Arctic from Russia to targets in Canada and the USA. Flying at high sonic speeds, and with a range of 200o miles (3200km), the powerful Orenda engines could bring eight 0.50″ caliber machine guns, as well as rockets, to the defense of this Canadian/American alliance.
Avro’s CF-100 Canuck is the first fighter aircraft designed and built in Canada — and was also the last. Many are proudly on display throughout Canada and there are at least two on exhibit in the USA — one is in the Cold War Gallery of the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force and the other sits at the Castle Air Museum.
