Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).
Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.
From may 06 till may 10 we went to Moscow and some airfields in the vicinity. On behalf of 4Aviation this was a recce mission. To research the photographic possibilities during the annual Victory aerial parade in Moscow centre and at airbases near Moscow. We were not disappointed so a trip will be organised by 4Aviation in 2015 when the russians celebrate their 70th victory over Nazi occupation. The only setback was that Ryazan did'nt fly on may 08, a day before victory day.

Nice pictures Berry! I might join the trip next year!
All taken from outside. No problems. At Kubinka there are a lot of Russian aviation enthousiasts and photographers. Near the other bases no one really cared about our presence.
