Because last year was such a succes we again travelled to Moscow this year. Our goal was to visit Chkalovskaya, Kubinka and Moscow centre for the air parade. This year the russians celebrated their 70th anniversary of the victory over Nazi occupation. In this photo topic I will not show my pictures ...

No engine trouble. Just training approach with one engine shut down.

The origin of the parts seems to come from behind the cockpit area (enginebay?). It looks like there is a small explosion in that area just prior to the parts departing. And I w...

I also observe some parts falling away from the Flanker at 0.17 sec. The origin of the parts seems to come from behind the cockpit area (enginebay?). It looks like there is a small explosion in that area just prior to the parts departing. And I was just happy again that some "beautifull Eastern hard...
