The Antonov An-70 is a next-generation four-engine medium-distance transport aircraft, and the first large aircraft to be powered by propfan engines. First flown in 1994, this aircraft is currently awaiting orders. The Antonov An-70 was present at the 2003 MAKS ( Moscow Air Show ) where it managed to maze the crowd with a stunning air display.

This is some great footage from the 2005 Moscow Military Parade. Must have been quite a sight. Stars of the event were the Sukhoi Su-27s and the MiG-29s belonging to the Russian Knights air display team and the Strizhi ( Swifts ). Great in cockpit footage showing formation flying and approach to the parade. Best of all is the Big Diamond formation consisting of five Russian Knights Su-27s and four Strizhi MiG-29s.
Old video of aerobatic teams performing at MAKS 2005, the Moscow Air Show. You can see teams like Red Arrows, the Russian Knights, The Swifts, Blue Angels, Frecce Tricolori, the Russ Squadron and Patrouille de France. Great action from these guys. Check it out.
