 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Sure. The T.50 did a pretty amazing demo on the sunny thursday "trade day". Unfortunately at Zhukovsky this means facing the sun nearly all day, unless you'reKoosD wrote:Hello,
This is really amazing stuff, please can you show more pics of the new Russian "Raptor" ? Thanks in advance
That's a lot of smoke. The bang didn't touch off the smoke generator, or did it?Another "amazing demo" was performed by the Baltic Bees L39's. After their show the last aircraft to land, number 5, turned in a little to steep to get correctly lined up with the runway (Koen managed to get a picture showing the L39 still at about a 45 degree angle only a few meters above the ground on finals). Probably as the pilot would never have been able to do a go-around, he smashed his L39 onto the concrete thereby ruining it's main landing gear, veered off the runway and continued it's very bumpy landing roll onto the grass. After sitting there for a few hours it was towed away and the show continued as normal. The team performed displays during the weekend with only 4 aircraft and one highly embarrassed pilot on the ground
No, they actually all activated smoke while landingStratofreighter wrote:That's a lot of smoke.

and this made the grassy rollout even more spectacularWow, that's 400 euros! I've read that Russian authorities are not very fond of journalists, which is hard to understand if they're ca$hcowsSjaak wrote:(somewhere in the region of 17000 we heard) to get a seat on the "press enclosure"
