All 15 aircraft wear the standard grey over white livery, many carry mission tallies on the forward fuselage and the Bort numbers are in different colours and styles (white, white trimmed with red, and blue edged in white). Copious national insignia are provided, and there’s a full guide for the masks placement. Some of the aircraft, all based at Khmeimin Air Base, Syria, include:
• RF-90942/White 05
• RF-93811/White 72
• RF-93800/Blue-White 53
• RF-90932/White-Red 26
