Err...what the heck flew over me...

[LePaul]

I'm thinking Su-27 but not sure about the transport...I mean crap, first Georgia, now Maine?  Craaaap.

[Octavius]

Looks like an IL-76.

[Dowding]

Indian air force? Don't they have Sukhoi's? Looks like a roundel of some kind on the transport - Indian AF have roundels.

[Wayout]

The fighter looks similar to a Sukhoi Su-35 Super Flanker.

[Fishu]

The fighter looks similar to a Sukhoi Su-35 Super Flanker.

Or 33

[DYNAMITE]

I know who you need to call...

Su-27 does not have canards.

I'm not really a Su-27 pilot, but I stayed at the Holiday Express last night.

Looks like an Su-30MKI, as those (and Chinese MKKs) are the only export variants with forward canards.

The Su-35 is actually a designation for a series of demonstration aircraft. Russia is upgrading the existing Su-27 fleet to match the avionics fit aboard the -35, and may modify them with canards. But the Su-35 is not a production item.

As for the transport, it is definitely an Il-76. The profile matches perfectly against Jane's Aircraft Recognition Guide.

Really cool LePaul! Say hi to Putin for me. Bust out with your best Vodka.

I think to be technical that it's IL78 Midas, the air tanker version of the IL76.

[Sparks]

From what I can see it's the Indian Airforce paying a visit.

Transport is IL76 - linky http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Aircraft/Specs/index.html - click on IL76 . Even roundel is in the right place.

Fighter is Sukhoi SU30 Mk1 - Use same link and click on SU 30 and then images.

Indian Air force in Maine ?? On the way to Goose Bay  for exercises ?? No idea

[SFRT - Frenchy]

It's not a transport, it's an air tanker version (has the lil hose nacelles looking like drop tanks on the outboard of the wings.) IL78 Midas.

My 2cts.

We get a lot of International traffic.  Heck, they could be stopping over from their trip over the pond, heading to Red Flag or some joint exercise

[Anodizer]

Where are you located (if you stated as much, I'm sorry...didn't read the whole thread)??  Oh, nvm...You're in Main....lol
Sorry...

I put my best guess on an SU-33....  Those particular planes are used on Russia's only carrier (technically a battleship with air capability as the Ruskies say)..  However, I'm not sure if they use them outside of the "carrier" application..

Big one would be an IL-76 or 78...  Can't see it too well...  Used to see those all the time when I lived in Eastern Europe...
