Ukraine seems to be following the Soviet practice (still maintained in Russia also, I believe), of dividing its air force into seperate tactical and air defense service branches. Thus there is no single "Ukrainian Air Force".

Previous Flag (?)

from <www.dod.niss.gov.ua> located by Michael Simakov 15 June 1999

This is the Flag of the AIr Defence. Most ex - soviet allies maintain four arms of services: Army, Air Force, Navy and Air Defence. On the site of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, this appears clearly.  
Romain Darbellay, 7 August 1999

Air Defense Forces flag.
Joseph McMillan, 8 August 1999

The blue flag with three arrows is NOT the border guard flag, but the Air Defence Force flag. [My translation using an Ukrainian-English dictionary] This is a continuation of the Soviet practice of maintaining seperate air force and air defence force.
Miles Li, 8 August 1999

Colour for Military Units

from <www.uarmy.com.ua>, located by Dov Gutterman, 25 June 2002

Colour for military units - The motto on the anverse side (right side on this image): "For Ukraine, for her liberty". Full name of military unit on the reverse side. This flag was not adopted yet. But probably it will be adopted in nearest future.
Victor Lomantsov, 26 June 2002

In the  "prototype" image above the reverse text reads literally "full name of military unit", supposedly to be replaced with appropriate name in real flags.
