Soviet air show

The celebrations repeated until the fall of Soviet Union, and continue[1][9][10] in Russia (location is now Zhukovskiy airport, see MAKS airshow).

[citation needed] The October Revolution anniversary usually included air parade, but as it was held on 7 November, the aircraft were often cancelled because of weather conditions.

[citation needed] Notably, the 50th anniversary of October revolution air show was held in the summer, on 9 July 1967 at Domodedovo airport.

In an unprecedented display of air power, it featured twelve new types or variants of military aircraft,[1][16] and prompted concern in the West, especially with reveal of the MiG-25, which appeared to be better than current U.S. fighters and influenced the F-X program and therefore the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle.

In the atmosphere of harshly enforced clandestinity, these air shows were frequently the main source of information about the recent aviation achievements of Soviet design bureaus (OKBs).
