From MAKS Airshow... with love!

[Christophe]

Last week, the Tu-144D 77115 was on display during the MAKS Airshow, in Zhukovsky, near Moscow.

Here are a few pics of a mythic aircraft you don't see so often.

Enjoy!!!

Dear Christophe,

many thanks for your MAKS-pics .

Very nice! And a great picture of Pokryshkin, the first three times Hero of the Soviet Union...

Comrade Pokryshkin was the only one, who got his 3 HSUs before the 9th of may 1945 .

Best regards

Thanks for the comments.

Inside the MAKS Airshow was a stand dedicated to Aleksandr Ivanovich Pokryshkin, with a small exhibition. This exhibition (mainly photographs) celebrated the 95 years of the birth of Aleksandr Pokryshkin.

Thank you for posting the photos. Were you able to go inside of any of the larger air craft?

[Christophe]

Unfortunately not...

I would have loved going inside the Tu-144, but the queue was too long for the time I had... and no fast track ....
