Hi there,
Here is a little flight that I took recently near Moscow.
I hope you enjoy!

...

"I can barely see anything, I hope we're using the right taxiway?"
...

"Well at least we're off the ground now!"
...

"Hey maybe you should turn the TCAS on, I heard there's alot of general aviation traffic around here!"
...

"Speaking of landing, where's the runway?"
...

"Ouch, not one of my smoother one's!"
...

"Ohh, now it decides to brighten up!!"

What's a Canadian plane doing in Moscow.  Grin
They're either a little lost or... well I could make some kind of political comment but I'd face the firing squad.  8)

Some really lovely shots there!
Oh and its not pre-'91, so foreigners don't get arrested for being in Moscow in little aeroplanes anymore, unlike certain Germans in Cessnas landing in Red Square (still one of the great moments in aviation I think Grin)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
