Looks like the Russians have turned to western tactics to sell their hardware now 
Chris.

You obviously haven't been to a defence trade show such as Farnborough or Paris in recent years - they leave western companies for dead.  I just wish, I could use sales techniques such as this.  Not saying they would be effective, but would still like to try...

Here's one that I actually saw in the flesh a couple of years ago:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwQpd6_SUSg  Now take care to note what they are selling!

  Reminds me of that old film with Chevy Chase called "Deal of the Century". Some great whiff aircraft in that movie btw.

Privately-owned Lim-6 (Polish license-built and modified MiG-17). Scheme is totally fictitious, but a real looker!

Any guesses for when the last photo I posted was taken?  I will give you a hint:  it wasn't by me .

Well, the second jet looks to be a Ye-150, so I'm guessing early 60s.

My guess is late spring or early summer, and from the Mig-21 in the foreground, no earlier than 1966. So June 1967, +/- 1 year?

Looks like Klimov may have gotten the lessons about advertising ("Sex sells") but they failed to get the lessons about appropriateness and context...

I don't know...many at the time thought it very appropriate!

Not the worst I've seen at a trade show either...

Well I can assure you no suspenders were involved...
