Aeroflot 90th Anniversary special livery

Aeroflot Sukhoi SuperJet 100 RA-89009 in special livery. That livery is the winner by people votes in the contest Aeroflot held this spring

A visit to Sukhoi Civil Aircrafts Company at Zhukovsky

Thursday September the 13th was a very much "aviation" day for me.


First of all, Sheremetyevo international airport held another annual autumn spotting event.

And another one, to be more precise - it is this was the first, I received an invitation to visit the "Sukhoi Civil Aircraft" company facilities at Zhukovsky.

And this will be the story today
So, welcome to SCAC!

Syrian Ilyushin Il-76 YK-ATA

Quite an often visitor lately.
Nice 32 year old muscle giant.
 

Spring 2012 at Domodedovo

To tell the truth, spring and autumn - one of my favorite seasons for taking photos. Primarily because of the soft light and all those "springish" colors. This spring, Domodedovo airport invited spotters several times inside for photo sessions. So I pushed my working schedule and went there. And Domodedovo also celebrated "5 years of official spotting" in Russia. As a participant of that event 5 years a go I had to go. ;) 

Here are some photos from this spring as a begining of this blog.
