The Soviet friendly visit in Czechoslovakia at Pardubice airport in July 1968.

At the beginning of 1967, the first squadron of the 164th independent Guard Reconnaissance Air Regiment used IL-28R Beagle, while the 2nd and 3rd squadron used high speed Yak-27R Mangrove reconnaissance types. The regiment also had IL-28U Mascot, Yak-28U Maestro training aircrafts. In addition, a tow target flight was served here with IL-28s

The staff of the regiment traveled to Lipetsk in April 1967, for Yak-28R Brewer-D retraining. With the new Yak-28R Brewer-D, a squadron of the regiment took part in a friendly visit in Pardubice, Czechoslovakia, between June and July of 1968. Here they participated in the Warsaw Pact "Šumava" exercise.
