The Austrian Army's colourful PC-6 "Bunte Freddie:




Former Czech air force MiG-27 preserved at Prague's Kbely Museum:

The bird is the streamertail hummingbird, Trochilus polytmus.

Nev did a request for units with Eagle markings, maybe worth merging the topics?

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
