1993: A Time of Transition - The Szolnok Air Transport Regiment's An-26 An-26 (209/2209) of the Hungarian Air Force, with the NATO reporting name "Curl," graced the skies above RAF Fairford during the 1993 Royal International Air Tattoo. This historic event, held from the 21st to the 27th of July, marked a significant period of transition for the military aviation community. The An-26, a versatile and robust aircraft, was a staple of the Soviet-era air forces, and its presence at the Air Tattoo underscored the evolving geopolitical landscape of the time. Hungary, as a member of the NATO Partnership for Peace program, was demonstrating its commitment to the Alliance and its interoperability with other military forces. The Szolnok Air Transport Regiment, part of the Hungarian Air Force, was responsible for operating this An-26. The unit's participation in the Air Tattoo provided an opportunity to showcase its capabilities and build relationships with other military organizations. The An-26, with its distinctive appearance and powerful presence, was a crowd favorite, drawing admiration from spectators and aviation enthusiasts alike. The 1993 Royal International Air Tattoo was a testament to the spirit of cooperation and collaboration among military forces from around the world. The Szolnok Air Transport Regiment's An-26, with its Hungarian colors proudly displayed, was a symbol of this unity and a reminder of the evolving role of military aviation in a changing world. This photograph captures the An-26 (209/2209) of the Szolnok Air Transport Regiment of the Hungarian Air Force during the 1993 Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford. The image, taken during the event's run from the 21st to the 27th of July, showcases the aircraft's distinctive appearance and the vibrant energy of the Air Tattoo.
