A Yakovlev Yak-130 was spotted in a 2019 military parade with brand new markings on the tail and wings. This new roundel is the design of the national flag put into a circular pattern with the same ratios as the national flag.

Virtually the same as the national flag. Military Aircraft Insignia of the World
[cos98] claims it is the flag painted on the
planes, however it is once shown in slanted position.

According to Cochrane & Elliot Military Aircraft Insignia of the World
[cos98] before the Pathet Lao took over (1975), the Aviation Royale Laotienne (formed in 1955) used a roundel
based on the national flag of that era: the central device in white on red disc bordered in white. see http://www.aircommandos.org/BobAndDon/Episode0000-0016.jpg They also used a fin flash of the national flag of the time- red with
white elephants under a parasol (monarchy) that is upon five steps (five first commandments of Buddhism), and on the wings & fuselage
used red roundels with the same symbol.
