As you could see below, from August 16 till 21 at Zhukovsky ‘Strizhi’ will fly over MAKS airfield together with our aerobatic colleagues ‘Russkiye Vityazi’, almost everyday.
Unfortunately, two our russian Air Force aerobatic teams will not take off and land to MAKS runway, as were published earlier by some sources, so we’re still go working on the show from the Kubinka airbase.
