Always a pleasure to see an L-29 Delfin, or "Maya" if you prefer, in the air. They aren't all that common in Europe anymore sadly but there are quite a few in the US, like this one taken as during its landing roll at EAA Airventure 2022.

A very rare helicopter in Europe is that of the Czech Air Force Bell UH-1Y Venom. These have only been introduced into Czech service fairly recently & have been bought to replace the Mi-171. This was seen at NATO days last year performing a role demo.

Another RAF aircraft I miss seeing is the Sentinel R1, sadly retired now but I always enjoyed seeing them. Even if it's just a bizjet with some lumps on it. This was photographed at its home base at RAF Waddington back in 2020 in some questionable weather.

An aircraft we don't see enough of anymore in my opinion is the Gloster Meteor. This particular Meteor is an T7 example displaying at the Cosford Air Show back in 2012.

Maybe not the most eye catching aircraft ever made but it does tick the rarity box. This Ilyushin Il-114 actually first flew back in the early 90s with only 22 been built & is apparently going back into serial production in Russia this year. This was seen displaying at MAKS back in 2015

2 Photo Reconnaissance Spitfires at the Shuttleworth Heritage Day back in 2018. Nothing else needs to be said really.

One of the many reasons to go to Poland is to see these MiG-15s flying around, albeit these are Polish made PZL-Mielec SBLim-2 & Lim-2 aircraft specifically. This was taken during one of the arrival days for the Radom show in 2023.
