InFlames Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Tuesday was the opening day for this year's MAKS. Due to the fact Russian president Putin opened the salon, security measures were extremely tight and lots of us missed the first part of the show and had to watch it from the queue lines, including Ilyushin formation, Tupolev formation along with MiG-29K and OVT escort, Su-34 demo,... Also the first day the lightning was very bad because of humid atmosphere and burning earth a few kilometers away from the airfield, which produced a brownish tint to the skies... Conditions that proved bad for the photographers... also due to the opening day, there was not a lot of flying display.... However here are some pics from the first day: Strizhi and Russian Knights performed together - a magnificent view and excellent alltogether display... A scene for Sci-Fi fans 2 decades ago, reality today Pantsir M1 - you don't wanna be on the receiving end of this beast Impressive array of weapons underneath the wing of Su-30MK demonstrator Russia's new missiles New "uber"-long range AA missile New anti-ship missile Novator 3M-54AE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J35 Draken Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 So is MAKS the Russian equivalent of Farnborough and RIAT? Yes and no. It's the equivilant of Farnborough as they're both trade shows but RIAT is just an airshow, even though there is a growing trade element growing year to year.

Nev Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Very impressive shots - especially the formation with the Mig-29s & Su-27s, flying 2 different aircraft in such tight formation manuevers is a real compliment to the pilots skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
