Flankerman Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 If anyone is interested, I have just completed a trip report on my recent sojourn to Moscow and Beijing - visiting the MAKS airshow and various aviation museums. A few tasters...... The whole report - with gazillions of photos - is here Have fun ! Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypnobear Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Some great photos there - thanks for putting them up I take it the Chinese are much more interested in preserving aircraft than we are by the looks of all those Mig's! It looks like you could easily take a whole day looking around the Museum at Xiaotangshan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depressed lemur Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thanks for the photos, this looks a fascinating place to visit with some surprising exhibits (P61) and some rather amazing representations (would never have guessed Mosquito).

Mfezi Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Flankerman - on what day(s) were you at MAKS? I was there on the Friday, and it rained a lot in the afternoon. Several of the displays had to stick to their bad-weather versions, we only saw one T-50 flying, and I think several displays got cancelled because I have seen many photographs on the internet of aircraft that did not fly on the Friday. My photographs are all pretty average because of the weather. In 2011 I was there on two days, which ended up in about 1/2 a day of good weather and one almost completely rained out. I am starting to think Zhukovskiy has it in for me... I go to Russia quite regularly and often experience good weather (such as the entire two weeks leading up to MAKS this year), and then I go to the airshow...
