Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA2414 MiG-15bis No. 573, Soviet Aerobatic Team, USSR, 1950s.
The first organized Soviet air show was held
August 18, 1933 at the Central Moscow Aerodrome called Gorky Park.
In 1934 the exhibition moved to Tushino Airfield just outside
Moscow. The displays were mostly large numbers of aircraft in formations spelling out Lenin, Stalin or SSSR.
Between then and 1950 there were a few display teams such as the
Red Five performing basic manoeuvres but in 1950 the Red Falcons were
formed performing high speed formation flying. The team lasted until about 1955.
