After Oshkosh, Moscow

MAKS 2003 Show to be Bigger, Tougher

Tougher? Well, certainly in the interest of a better experience for all, 'tougher,' in this case, means, 'with more security than ever.'

The Russian-dominated show, held in Zhukovsky, near Moscow, will feature the latest in (predominantly) Russian aviation wares, including some of the most-interesting microlights never seen elsewhere, through military aircraft, helicopters, all the way up to giant airliners.

Over 100 plants and companies will exhibit; and, although this show has a distinctly Russian flavor, over 30 countries' manufacturers will be represented.

Unfortunately, there have been a few well-publicized terrorist attacks in Moscow this year; and security will be beefed up. The show's own force will be working extra, and MAKS has asked the federal government for some help, as well.

 

Regardless, there will be some fantastic exhibits -- of aircraft and related items, as well as the best of the "fringe" (black) market -- all kinds of illegal software, for instance, that will certainly get you a cool reception at Customs.

But go for the aviation: the collection at MAKS is unlike any you'll see elsewhere; the truly biggest of the big shots from the big design bureaus are there, and more-accessible than at any other time all year.

Marvel at unusual solutions to problems you though you had fixed. Enjoy the cool air, the warmth of Russian aviators, and have a look at a city you couldn't even enter just a few short years ago.

 

The show will be held on the airfield of the Gromov Flight Institute in Zhukovsky on 19-24 August.
