The usual load of Sukhois... MiG seems to be knock-out a little bit

It's the Canard-wing aircraft, iut only got promoted to a Su- designation. S-xx is a prototype, Su-xx is something which could be or is a production machine (or is based on one)

wont be going, cant afford it and prob wouldnt go if could, as i am not a fan of russian aircraft

Well russian aircraft have proven to be superior, except for the SR71, but even the americans have admitted that the Su-37 is superior to any American fighter. And yes, the Canard winged Berkut will be there, its called the Su-47 or the S-47. Its wings face forward. It has extreme manueverability, but the speed is only 1.47 MACH. And american fighters will also be there, and static displays, also the russian and american helicopters will be present.

has nothing to do with who is superior, just a personal preferance, and to be quite honest with you, if i was up there flying, i would rather have a squadron of F-14's/15's protecting me anyday

Well actually, there are aircraft carriers that are not officially listed, the Kuznetsov is pretty old and will most likely be replaced soon, there is the Admiral Gorshky which is the flagship of the Pacific fleet, and Sevastopol which is flagship of baltic fleet (atleast I think its baltic) so there are ones that are not officially listed but if you look into it you will find them, ie. get a friend in the armed forces  . And personally, I dont like the Su-47, it depends purely on the computer to be controlled, without the onboard computer it would be nothing and would barely be able to fly. My favourite is the Su-37 which has those 3D thruster controls  8) Dont even try to outmanuever him  And the MAKS airshow is the biggest not in the sense that it has the most aircraft on display or in flight, but its very big for the aerospace community with all the physists and scientists coming, because if you look at the schedule, its pretty much one press conference and debate after another in the Main Pavillion. And you are welcome to go inside (allthough I dont think you can throw in your idea's that easily to those scientists . And as for the scientists, a group is representing NASA and there's Boeing's ussual. Rosaviakosmos, Tupolev, and ofcourse Sukhoi, then there are a bunch of small ones I wont even get into  cause im reading it from the official paper so if it interests you just go to the site  . And I would feel incredibly safe if I was defended by a squadron of Su-37's...Id take those over any other fighter (F-15/14's, MiG29's, Su-27 or even Su-47's) Anyday, ESPECIALLY the Eurofighter 

at www.af.mil/news i read an article about the B-52 that arrived at...how do you call that airfield?

the site has a nice shot of the nose art of that plane...i...the 'bomber-nose-art-freak'...must say it's a very cool photo!
