Some pretty unique photos here. There's even Iranian Tomcats in a few shots escorting the Flankers.

Edit: I'd be careful with the video links at the bottom - might not be safe to click on, and might not be something you want people to see on your screen.

Wow. I didn't realize the Iranian 'Cats were still airworthy.

Thanks for sharing the link

Haha they are still using our old F-4's as well. I would think the Russians are helping keep the F-14 running by making parts. Or maybe China.
