KADEX 2016

Post by shaggy101 »

Just the one for now as I'm still going through my pics. I'll update here as & when I can.

How many people can say say they've done a sunset/night shoot with Kazakh Su-27's, quite simply a stunning moment.

Nope. Not jealous mate. Not at all.

Looks awesome pal, I enjoyed your travel updates on Facebook too. Looking forward to seeing the rest.

Although it could maybe do with a teensy bit of straightening?

Cheers Sam,

Yeah it could do with some straightening & that damn light pole to be removed, it was just a quick edit & quite simply couldn't be bothered last night.

KADEX static line up, not a massive amount here but some real quality items with very minimal fencing, except around the Su-30.

No MiG31s? Boo! :mad:

Some nice little bits of kit there, liking the helicopters a lot, shame about the grey European types getting in on the act though! :grin:

The MiG 31's are grounded I think, so there was no chance of those anyway. No idea as to why or if indeed they are grounded, just what we were told

Great set of photos! Shame no MiG-31 or MiG-27, arguably the two most interesting types in the Kazakh AF fleet :confused: :confused:

Wouldn't mind a trip to Kazakhstan me'self! Some lovely machines there; hard to pick a highlight, between the Crusty, Coaler, Halo, and Hips!

Some of the flying display, it was rather short but the sunset Flankers more than made up for it, even if it was freezing cold. There's also a few interesting civvie types out of Astana as well

Day 2 of KADEX proved to be a Flanker fest, not that I'm complaining in any way. Again quite a short display but some real quality :smile:

Final set from myself, this was by far & away the best day with everything flying, no MiG's though :sad: , & two aircraft that flew ticked off my bucket list, the Tu-134 & Su-25, no pics of the Su-25 though as security were moving us on & it was way too hazy as well. The Kazakh An-12 is as stunning as it looks :smile:

It's a bi-annual show, couldn't recommend it enough. Although there was a lot of standing around waiting for stuff to happen. Well worth it though

If I was stood around for a long time and came away with them photos, I'd be one happy chap.
