No way to get back to the exhibition halls dry... So together with at least 1000 other people, kids in teeshirts and businessmen in suit and tie we sought shelter under the wings of the Antonow An-225 Mriya. This changed the view of my wife regarding the usefulness of aircraft forever :-) Statistically I guess that someone else following this thread may have been under that wing together with us that day!
