Russia: Latvia's Baltic Bees aerobatics team dazzle the crowds at Maks-2015

Latvia's Baltic Bees team wowed the crowds with an aerobatic display at the MAKS-2015 air show above the Zhukovsky airfield, in the Moscow Oblast, Friday. Team members piloting six Aero L-39 Albatros jet trainers performed acrobatics displays in groups and as individuals. The six-member Baltic Bees team have developed a series of group performances, maintaining a distance of just one metre (3.30 feet) between planes in some of the more daring manoeuvres. The Bees are a professional civilian aerobatics team based in Latvia who have performed since 2008. MAKS-2015 is one of the largest air shows in the world with over 400,000 people expected to attend the event. Organised by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia and Rostec, it showcases Russia's aircraft manufacturing capabilities. A number of foreign investors and companies are registered to attend MAKS-2015 including Boeing and Rolls-Royce. The event runs from August 25 until August 30.
