Sukhoi SU-30 and IL-78 in the USA

First off I did not take these photos. I got them from a fellow airshow fan. What we have here are a couple of birds rarely found over the USA. The Sukhoi SU-30 Mk1 and the Ilyushin IL-78. Both of the Indian Air Force. They were here taking part in Red Flag in Las Vegas. These shots were taken in Rockford Illinois on Aug 30. From there they flew to Bangor and all along the way people misidentified them as its not everyday an SU-30 goes ripping overhead. The SU-30 was the answer to the F-15. I wonder how bad it got its ass kicked by the F22 at Red Flag? So here you go. Enjoy them and keep your eyes to the sky...
