Hi y'all!
I am a navy brat from the US, with a love of all things Soviet and Combat Aviation; Having access to the vast trove of knowledge that is compiled here is an absolute blessing, and I cannot express my thanks enough. I know I have only scratched the surface of it, and I keep coming back to find more information that I simply couldn't get any other way.
Truly, thanks for all the wonderful information!
Admin reply: Hi,

More stuff and updates will come during the next few months and years.

In January of 1995, when I was eight years old, my family moved from the great plains of the United States to Ramstein Air Base in Germany. My father had recently been posted to USAFE headquarters there. Over the next four years I was privileged to see the remnants of the Cold War first hand.
One of my father's colleagues at the time was a Luftwaffe MiG-29 pilot who had began his flying career in the NVA LSK. Less than a decade prior, both him and my father (a B-1B WSO) were enemies on opposite sides of the fence and now they were work colleagues and friends. At museums like Flugausstellung Hermeskeil I saw exotic eastern aircraft like the Tu-134, MiG-21, MiG-23, and Mi-24. It was truly an amazing time to live in Germany.
From their I developed a life long interest in Russian / Eastern Bloc aviation. Thank you for this wonderful website. I visit it quite often and it is always an enjoyment to look at.

Yes indeed, a fascinating subject once you get into it!
The next site update should come around February.
