Well that is the end of quite a superb trip, an eight day extravaganza to Moscow and area. During the trip we had travelled about 1078 miles, visited 35 separate locations. I have excluded the number of times that we re-visited the main three airports, those repeats being that we were staying near these airports […]
Hi all, just finishing off the logging from the August Moscow trip we did and noticed that I had not tackled our short visit to Chisinau (Kishinev) in Moldova. We took this weird route home from Moscow to fly on a new airline for us and catch some of the many stored Russian types still […]
So one step away from home and a few hours at Amsterdam-Schiphol. Before the trip I had looked as to what may be interesting at Amsterdam and I found that there was a Mil-2 at the fire station and a Learjet in terminal 2 near McDonalds. So we kept a lookout as we landed for […]
So after fighting our way through the nightmare Moscow ring road traffic for 2 hours, we arrived at Sheremetyevo. After walking about the terminal picking off aircraft, we decided to try and settle down somewhere. we were in Terminal E and gate 46 seemed to be good. It overlooked the business jet and frieght area, […]
I was looking forward to seeing a few of the older Russian types here, I was not disappointed. Yegoryevsk is where there is a technical training school, also known as the Aeroflot Engineering Training School Museum. Eight aircraft are parked around what I can suggest looks like a parade ground. We had a viewing arranged, […]
Next to Severka~Moscow, a nother general aviation field. However one interesting item here, a Russian registered Rockwell Sabreliner 60, the only one as far as I am aware. Some other unexpected American types were also seen… so a very enjoyable visit. Photograph link at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jlt_egcc74/albums/72157687875862513 Regards.

Next stop was Korobcheyevo~Moscow, a general aviation airfield where a parachute club was also based. It was very busy, however we were kindly shown around the field and stored/wfu aircraft by a captain of an AirBridgeCargo Boeing 747. He was very enthusiastic about our visit, as he aid to us, his life was aviation, both […]
So, as I have done before, no log, just some basic information and a photograph link. As mentioned previously, this will give you an excellent understanding of the nature of the trip and what can be seen.
