They were not brought here for any military purpose. They were brought here to be privately-owned and operated -- just like every other jet "warbird" in America. Because of the freedoms we enjoy here (as aircraft enthusiasts and "warbird" owners in the U.S. and elsewhere are keenly aware), private individuals and/or aircraft museums have the opportunity to collect and operate almost any sport aircraft they desire.

Can the Red Star be painted back on by a prospective buyer?

That's weird. I see red stars on Yak 52's, 55s, Sukhois, etc., all the time.
