Twin-engine aircraft Diamond DA42 Twin Star. The pilot / technician diligently rubs the snow-white wing.


MiG-3
Exhibition of historic aircraft in the open. The most striking thing is that this MiG is on the move! On the opening day of the MAKS-2015 air show, this “grandfather” flew along with the “granddaughter” of the MiG-35. Behind the MiG is an American Teksan T-6, also the time of the Second World War.


Po-2 - the legendary night bomber of the Great Patriotic War.



The legendary DC-3, supplied by Lend-Lease, flew to MAKS from the USA. Machines repeated the path of planes that were transferred to the USSR. With the civil and transport aircraft during the Great Patriotic War in the USSR, everything was very sad, and these planes were very, very useful. We have produced them under a license under the label Li-2.

Balloon team "Sky of Belogorya" from Belgorod.


Viewers
While the aeronauts laid out the balloons before the start, the spectators took pictures. When will you see such an action?


Balloon Filling
It turns out that everything is simple: the ball unfolds on the ground, then a powerful fan is filled with air, and then the air is heated by a gas burner and rises.
