I have seen a couple of the US hips up close, these were for training purposes so there was nothing really different about them. painted white, no markings other than what they came with no weapons or anything.

I found this one on airliners.net.  It's purported to belong to the 6th Special Operations Squadron out of Hurlburt Field.

These are excellent thank you. These sub pictures never cease to astound (remember all those grainy black and white pics from the cold war?) Never thought I would see anything like this LOL. Oscars have this mean heavy weight look to them, and with open hatches? very cool. The Ukrainian Foxbat is very unique, not used to seeing many pics of those.

I had a free day on Friday, so I paid a visit to the Brno Technical Museum and snapped a few pics of their Sukhoi Su-22:








And some of their Sukhoi Su-7 related gear:
