Looks like an IL-76.

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

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

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. :uhoh

I think to be technical that it's IL78 Midas, the air tanker version of the IL76. :t
-
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 (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
-
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

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...
