The first official Soviet air show was held in 1933. They flew 5 IL-16 aircraft, 4 were painted red and the lead aircraft remained an olive green. In 1934 the exhibition moved to Tushino Airfield outside Moscow. After WWII the Soviets began to use Yak-15s, MiG-15s and MiG-21s with the upper half of the fuselage painted red. Most aircraft were drawn from the 176th Air Regiment who later became the 234th AR based at Kubinka in 1952. The last Soviet airshow took place at Domodedovo Airfield in 1967 using MiG-21PFM.
