MAKS 2019, Zhukovsky

Post by pako-2008 » Tue Sep 03, 2019 1:03 pm

First time visiting MAKS International Aviation and Space Salon last week after being on the bucket list for a number of years.

I've got to say, the show itself seems to generate quite a lot of hype and when you cut through the rarity of the aircraft you see... it's actually quite an average show. Inside is nigh on impossible, the static is hard work (but doable with creativity) and the flying has a lot of filler items twinned with some extended pauses until the public days.

That all said, the rarity of the aircraft do make it worth going and my god are they some of the best displays you'll see from individual aircraft. That combined with the gorgeous weather throughout the show made it a very enjoyable few days.

Here's an initial set of shots having had a quick skim through the files:

And the absolute stars of the show were the Russian Navy Su-30SM pair, who performed no less than six times in the four days I was there. Simply outstanding:

Thanks for looking.

Absolutely brilliant shots - must get there next time. Last shot was interesting with the jet pipe nozzles in slightly different planes. Is this an optical illusion or are the tail pipes capable of vectoring?

Thanks for the comments,

Yes the last shot shows the thrust vectoring capability of the Su-30. Really something special that display was I must admit.

Due to a lack of foreign invites, plus a few other reasons, most agree this years show was not as good as previous ones.
