The only non-Russian display team to be equipped with MiG-29s, the Ukrainian Falcons were established in early 1997 with seven Fulcrum Cs and two Fulcrum Bs. The team made its public debut on May 9th 1997 in Kiev during that year's VE-Day celebrations. The Falcons were the stars of the Royal International Air Tattoo at RA F Fairford two months later, and they contined to perform at various events in Europe until July 2002. On the 27th of that month, an Su-27UB crashed into the crowd while performing arobatics at Sknilov Air Base, killing 83 spectators. In the wake of this tragedy the Ukranian Ministry of Defence banned military display flying altogether.
