Jet Plane for Memorial Day

Posted by Hajira_Luxury@reddit | aviation | View on Reddit | 9 comments

Some years I sit with the memory of those lost in service. Some years I try to think of anything else if it hurts too much to feel who I lost. Sometimes I sit on the wing of a piece of history.

This is not vintage enough for my wheelhouse, so can you help me identify the model or history of this jet?

And, how do you commemorate Memorial Day?

I think I caught that it was Russian, so that lines up.

Thank you!
