Does anyone know what the C-17 parked on the remote stand here, 10th-12th July, was?

Thanks

OK, a few more numbers and apologies for the number of ???s... On the Wednesday there was a Mil-17Sh in the static park. This is the one that had the digital green camo. The right hand sponson carried the number 7583 Some of the OKB ramps could be seen from the shuttle bus terminus. Amongst them wer...

Thanks for the Yak-40s an the AW139

OK, the first of my updates to the previously published logs (many thanks to the people who posted them). I went on Wednesday and Friday and pretty well all of the stuff I wrote down was from the Wednesday. I have to say that I was not as diligent at making notes as I used to be. Blame the age facto...

Amidst the various food stalls at MAKS-2017 were two airliner front fuselages belonging to some children's club Avia-Tor. I decided that they were both Yak-40s, complete with the 'Odd Rod' IFF aerials on the nose. There's a photo of one of these on airliners.net from a few years ago which says it wa...

Thanks for your answer. (One question, I was there on the Wednesday and the AW-139 at the end of the static line (next to the Il-2) had its markings covered over. Did anybody get this? There was a second AW-139 RA-01996 present which was in Hall F3) My answer is: RA-01985, behind Mi-8 RF-04412 and ...

The c/n plate of an L-39 is in the cockpit behind the pilots seat. Not any use for you now I presume, but for the future... Thanks Patrick. I have a feeling the cockpit section finished just behind the ejection seat but I forgot to photograph it. I need to go back there again next time I'm in Mosco...

Goodafternoon, Hello I was there too and have some questions about the log: 76529 Ilyushin Il-76LL 73410308 / was it standing on the IL-76 ramp or on the ramp with Tu-95 and "Russian spaceshuttle"? - (Mi-171) Mil Mi-171AMTSh-HV - / was this the green one without markings of a serial? 38011 Mil Mi-3...

There's a company called Sim Dreams in the Avia Park shopping centre (on the old Khodynka airfield) in Moscow. They have a front fuselage section of a L-39 in a flight simulator. I was told that the fuselage section came from a real L-39 and despite never having been in a L-39 before it looked prett...

I'm still trying to pull my MAKS log together. Gone are the days when I was a dedicated spotter and neatly wrote everything down but I'll put up what I've got in batches. Hopefully these will spur other people to add/correct as appropriate.

Some interesting text in the PocketMags digital subscription advert...
