Moscow Airshow 2007

Thanks to Wasq, Panzer and other Finnish guys who were brave enough to come here.

We really had a good time talking, and Wasq called me when they got back to the hotel. At that time we (me, my co-worker and our friend) were sitting in the woods nearby drinking vodka that I got back from security (hehe), and waiting for the crowd to disappear before we get onto an electric train.

Hmm and I still have a can of beer in my backpack...!

So how much vodka did you need to drink to go to a russian airshow? Which was the more important part, the airshow or the vodka?

Thanks Boroda, it was fun meeting you :)

Actually I didn't drink any vodka in the airshow area, only beer...

I don't have any pictures yet, let's see whether I manage to unpack my bags today. I just recently got back to Finland, the train trip was actually pretty enjoyable.

In finnish standards if you remember anything from a trip abroad it's a failed trip. That's why pictures and video is for, to see what happened.

At roughly the same time, there was the Budapest air races.
Look here:
http://dagskra.ruv.is/streaming/sjonvarpid/?file=4338143/7

They fly at speeds up to 400 kph and pull up to 10 G's. Like formula 1 on steroids :D

Would have loved to see the Moscow airshow though. Is it an annual event?

Now that I've gone through my photos, all I can say is that next time I'll bring a better camera... I had a 3-4 years old compact digital camera with me, which was too slow to focus on the flying machines and didn't like the bright conditions there. So no good flying pics. :(

A couple of examples what could have been good photos:



And a mandatory group photo:

Myself, Wasq and Boroda.

I'll still have to go through the static display photos, at least those planes weren't moving so the pictures should be ok.
