For a more modern air show, I'd include these.

Fighters

MiG-15
MiG-15bis
MiG-19
MiG-21
MiG-29S (Strictly air-to-air, with very limited unguided ground attack capabilities.)
Su-17
Su-22
Su-27
Su-33 (Just an SU-27 but with folding wings and used by the Navy. Kinda like a F-14 Tomcat or something similar.)

Bombers

Tu-95M
Tu-95KD (Fitted with air-to-ground missiles for better defense, and more modern avionics, etc.)
Tu-160 "Black Jack" (Like a Soviet B1 but with better range and payload. Also more reliable in maintenance.)
Tu-119 (A varient of the Tu-95 Bear, but only reached prototype stage with seeing if a strategic bomber could last when being powered by a nuclear reactor!)
Il-28

That's pretty much it involving Soviet planes. I'd throw in some odd balls here and there, but those would be my main attractions.
