One of my squaddies left tonite to go to MAKS 2005. He bought a sweet digital SLR and a vid camera for the trip. If ya'll are interested, I'll do an interview w/him when he gets back. He's booked a ride in a MIG29UB. I'm dying to hear his impressions about (finally) getting a chance to fly in a high performance a/c. In a way he's part of the airshow as he'll be taking off during it. The guys from ED invited him to hang out w/them and check out the alpha for 1.2. They have a booth of some sort there.

I'll keep ya posted, he's gonna try to give me a play by play via the interweb.

I might have a slight interest...

Great let us know.

I've talked with people who've flown jets before...but I've got no info at all on 1.2 Alpha!!!


The Jedi Master

I told him specifically to get us vid or still shots of 1.2.

Are these some pictures of MAKS 2005?

An interesting approach to V/STOL. What will those Russians think of next?
