Just caught a very nice glimpse of a Gripen (at least I think that was a Gripen). One plus of staying on the edge of the AFB NFZ (or so the drone apps tells me...

Apparently the Russians are flying out again tomorrow morning at 06:20, if you on facebook follow "Aviation Central", nice videos and some updates on airshows and the activity currently around the Russian crafts

 

Edit: Spelling and updated time  :whistling:
