REFLECTOR: VELO in Russia

[Jorge Bujanda]

Is that the American flag in the Tupolev’s tail?

Kent,
 
It is indeed a Velocity. Dmitri Shapalov, the gentleman in the red jacket, is the builder.
He's working on his third Velocity.
 
For those who couldn't find it, the photo is here: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/1257032

A picture taken in Russia is posted on Google Earth of a Velocity (I think) at the MAKS
airshow. Anyone know whose plane?

Zhukovsky Airbase
Ramenskoye Airfield about 40 km southeast of central Moscow.
55°34'12.7" N / 38°09'15.04" E

Posted to Google Earth by Vasily Pozhidaev probably from the 2005 airshow.

It's a picture of a TU144 but you can see that Vasily was standing where the action was.


Whoever the owner is - way to go!


I'm waiting for my condition inspection so yes, I have too much time on my hands.
