On our road to Zhukovsky we visited another airfield - Bykovo, changed into a giant parking lot. We came early enough to be among first taken by buses to the salon. There were also some old but interesting planes to be photographed there - it seems there are no empty airfields in Russia.
As it happens when the show is on the military ground, all guests were taken into Zhukovsky by special buses. Anyway, it gave us an opportunity to have a look at the outskirts of the airfield. Unortunately we were on the wrong side of a bus to photograph a museal collection near the main entrance - I saw even IL-102 there.
Watching air demonstrations was difficult because of the sun. To make good photos of flying planes we should spent some hours near the southeast end of a runway - difficult thing a bit because of Moscow hot weather (different from hot weather I used to know). Fortunately static display was just as interesting - or maybe even more...
We left an hour and a half after closing time - using another exit, the one near Ilyushin OAO, as one can tell by the planes standing there. Just a step further was a bus stop taking guests to a railway station.
Promised Sukhoy Regional Jet I found only on a great MAKS billboard near the Red Square. But anyway - it was a pity to leave....
