Re: MAKS
A Flight programme has now been added http://www.aviasalon.com/en/static/page/flight_program.htm
Highlights include the four Russian aerobatic teams "Russian Knights", "Strizhi", "Russian Falcons" and "Rus" .
PAK FA fighter of the Fifth generation will take part in the flight program for 1st time
"Search and Rescue" with participation of Ka-226Т Mi-34S1 helicopters;
“Anti-terror” with participation of Ka-52 Mi-28NE, Mi-8 helicopters.
Su-35, MiG-35, Su-30 MK2 (flying?) and Sukhoi superjet-100

If you wait until the late afternoon - when the crowds start to go home - it isn't too bad......
These from 2009 - when the weather was crap...
I took this early in the morning (just in case) - having waited for ten minutes to get most of them out of the way ......
.... and this late in the afternoon....
If you can get in on the 'trade' days, it's even better - these were taken on a Wednesday in 2007...

I,m hoping it will be easy by the electric train from Moscow. From their website it looks like we follow the crowds from Otdih Station!
From Kazanskiy Railway Station (Komsomolskaya metro station) or from Vykhino metro station to Otdih Station and the 42nd km Station
Free shuttle buses will take the guests to the airfield of MAKS from Otdih Station.
During the period of MAKS, between August 16, 2011 and August 21, 2011, Russian Railways will run additional trains between Moscow and Ramenskoye. The amount of the additional trains on holidays will be considerably increased.
I'm going solo on both Saturday and Sunday, and maybe Friday depending on how easy it is to get through Border control! (I have now recieved my VISA so that's a good start!)

Re: MAKS
Looks like this will be the last chance to see the Russian Knights and Swifts, budget cuts have now reached Russia....

Re: MAKS
Hi guys, about getting to MAKS ... I read a lot of things about public transports and about the "madness" to use them.
I was wondering, if you are three or four people, why don't use a taxi ??
Of course it could be more expensive, but with car pooling... anybody has been there to tell me if the taxi is a bad idea??
Thank you
