Where and when was this picture taken?

I'd assume by the obvious ground angle it was taken from the Paris airshow in the 1980's.

Shameless rip-off. I gotta say, though, the Ruskies were smart by sticking with the capsules.

I think they may have the last laugh 'cos we're hitching rides with them now that the shuttle is decommissioned.

Gorgeous machine. It is a pity that her destiny was not formed as well as that of the shuttle.
