A Few Scenes That Would Have Been Unheard Of Not So Long
Ago
The Air Force has some interesting photos to share from the
recently concluded Moscow Aviation and Space Show.
Capts. Kieran Denehan (above, left) and Gary Berger
sign autographs at the Moscow Aviation and Space Show (at Zhukovsky
Airfield) on Aug. 22. They are B-52 Stratofortress crew members
from Minot Air Force Base, N.D. This is the first time U.S.
military aircraft have been on public display in Russia. Four other
U.S. military aircraft were on display there: an F-16 Fighting
Falcon, an F-15E Strike Eagle, a C-130 Hercules and a KC-135
Stratotanker.
Maj. Wayne Straw (above, right) talks about the finer points of
the F-15E Strike Eagle with Russian Air Force Lt. Col. Oleg Mutovin
on Aug. 22 at the Moscow Aviation and Space Show. Straw is an F-15E
weapons systems operator from Royal Air Force Lakenheath, England.
Mutovin is a fighter test pilot. This is the first time U.S.
military aircraft have been on public display in Russia. Also,
the F-15 Eagle performed a daily aerial demonstration.
Capt. Gary Berger signs his autograph for a Russian visitor Aug.
22 at the Moscow Aviation and Space Show. Berger is a B-52
Stratofortress crew member from Minot Air Force Base, N.D. This is
the first time U.S. military aircraft have been on public display
in Russia. Four other U.S. military aircraft were on display there:
an F-16 Fighting Falcon, an F-15E Strike Eagle, a C-130 Hercules
and a KC-135 Stratotanker. [ANN Thanks Master Sgt. Kenneth
