The event was held last weekend, on Sept 8, 2012 at Bolshoye Gryzlovo airfield not far from Moscow. There was a lot of model and real aircraft, parachutes, paragliders, etc. Part of the event was model rocket launches, which I was involved into.

And now, enjoy...

For anyone who is interested, late Anna Gorelysheva, whose picture I recently made my signature pic, has received an obituary on her death from an editor of Novosti Kosmonavtiki magazine (few words about this magazine by an English reviewer).
