Was in Russia in August to visit MAKS and also to take a trip on some rare Soviet era aircraft.

Flew this TU134 to / from MAKS from Moscow Vnukovo airport. Was nice to use the same terminal the Cosmonauts use too.

this might be a stupid question (not a plane expert) but in that 3rd image, has that plane got both propeller and jet engines?

Flew an internal flight on a Yak 40 and received a briefing on it from a retired Captain.... he had a glint in his eye when speaking about flying the TU134; sports car / passenger fighter jet of the sky he said!!!

Flew on this helicopter on a few min scenic flight over St PEtersburg.... highly recommended. Helicopter was immaculate and allot quieter inside than I anticipated.

Flew on this AN28 too. Operated by a parachute club so we went up with the parachutists and once they were off; the pilot put it into a 38 degree nose dive. interesting experience.

This Tu104 is been slowly restored by a girl who is totally passionate about the aircraft.... incredible to see the attention to detail she has and all in her own time.

Late September; went with Airliner Experience to Kiev where we got airside tours of both Kiev airports; tour of the Aviation College; visited the aviation musuem and also went to other places of interest in Kiev.
Great trip and would highly recommend it as a city to visit especially with Ryanair flying direct from Dublin.

Anyway; one of the highlights for me was getting so close to the live runway and taking photos like these.

It's carrying the turboprop as a complete test engine; there's probably a station inside with engineers recording all of the parameters from the engine. The host aircraft will take off and stay aloft on three of it's own engines easily enough and they can start and stop the test engine as it suits them.

Went to Oshkosh about 20 years ago , took my time and visited loads of small fields .

one had this lovely example housed.

it's a shame the owner was a horrible racist who started ranting about what he would do with black people ( throw them into the prop ) ..... he insisted on moving his car into shot.

We took our photo's , made our excuses and beat a hasty retreat .

The incident sticks in my mind to this day

Ohhh and BTW Oshkosh was fantastic !

Today?

Reason for asking is because a plane similar to this (may even have been the same) was in Dublin Airport a few weeks ago.

he needs to get a few painters on the job, otherwise he'll have a nice pile of corroded aluminium in a few years.

Great photos Smurfjed. Mind me asking whose colours the 747 is in - Saudia? I love those 747 freighters. There was one in Dublin yesterday...If I remember correctly, it belonged to Atlas.

Thanks for the photos!

That A380 has an almost ghostly appearance there against the dark Mayo skies. The spirit of the former Air France craft?

For some reason it reminds me of The Doors song 'Riders On The Storm'

Took these while I was in Sydney last year. Can't remember if I've shared them already but in light of them being retired this weekend I though I'd post them. Taking on a camera phone so quality isn't the best.
