and even thought I dont speak russian you can put ya mouse over the thumbnails and read (at the bottom of ya screen) where it is. Seems there are quite a few aircraft memorials in our Lockon area of interest that are not on the map besides that Krasnodar one, I guess the Devs just ran out of time.....

Bump ... this is an amazing site, lots of incredible pictures. Finally got around to checking it out yesterday and I don't want others to miss it.

 

BRD, in addition to mousing over the links, if you study the letters a bit you can quickly just transliterate the words and sound them out yourself - then mouse over and see if you were right. I figure most people here oughta have a head start if they are comfortable in the Sues or MiG of LOMAC.

I don't know whether it has been discussed but on the airforce.ru site there's a very interesting article with good footage about the loss of a Su-33 on 5.9.2005 plus a damage of another one the same day, both accidents because of cutted arrestor cables.
