MAKS - International Aviation & Space Salon, Zhukovsky/Russia 2007

If you want to see Russian made aircraft then there is no place like Russia, or more specifically: like Zhukosvky near Moscow. Taking pictures at the MAKS - airshow is kind of tricky since you are facing the sun from noon onwards and the crowdline is quite a distance to the runway/display axis (nowadays/2013 they even put up a 2m meshwire fence between the crowd and the runway). Anyway - where else do you get to see the Russian Knights and the Russian Swifts along with flying displays of the latest additions to the MiG-29 and Su-27 families or experimental planes like the Su-47 Berkut or the Su T-50?
