  The Moscow International Air Show and Space Salon (MAK 2005) ended after five days and proved a big success. This is a new show, and after a few years it has become a major trade show, with the principal commercial and military aircraft manufacturers showing up, and much sales activity (over a billion dollars worth reported this year). Many U.S. military aircraft were displayed this year, including B-1B, F-15E, F-16C, KC-10, and KC-135.
