I recently visited Moscow for an aerobatics display at Zhukovsky and the Flying Legends show at Monino.
We also visited Domodedovo, Vnukovo, Chornoye, Victory Park & Khodynka.
My photos and a short description about the visit are at :-

Jealous, Ken, Very Jealous.
*But* im hoping to be over there at the time of the MAKS2005 airshow. That should be quite good. Cant wait, its been ages (more than 2 years!) since i was over there. Its a long way from Australia.By the way, how was your stay in that monster, the Rossiya? I hear that it (and several other "old guard" hotels around Moscow are scheduled for destruction.
Cheers

David,
It was the first time we had stayed at the Rossiya - the location is great - but the food is not as good, nor as plentiful as we are used to at the Cosmos (our normal hotel).
We like the Cosmos - the food is excellent and you can help yourself in the buffet-style restaurant.
We go across the road to the VDNK park in the evenings for a few cheap beers etc.
You are right - the Rossiya is due for demolition - to be replaced by a hotel complex of 5-star hotels.
That will affect all the tour groups who are happy to stay in 4-star accomodation - there just won't be any!

Yeah - the standard of the 'ladies' at the Rossiya is not a patch on those at the Cosmos.

But don't you find those luxuriant moustaches sexy Ken?!
