a crane picks up the plane with uncoupled wings (so as not to interfere during transportation) and gently lower the “back” of the truck. The last glorious moment of flight for long been written off on the ground mechanical birds.
– a post-war technique. It doesn’t quite match the theme of our Museum, because it is not participated in the great Patriotic war. Here and training aircraft, and military. We have thought it proper to place them in other companies. There are conditions for the full restoration. Equipment will remain on our balance, – said the Director of the Museum-reserve “battle of Stalingrad” Alexei Dementiev.
On Mamayev Kurgan, the idea should not be any equipment, it’s not planned. But in 90-e years has disbanded the famous Kachin flying school. Do not give it the engines for scrap. From the airport they were transferred to the main height of the city. Then something passed from military garrisons, when the life has expired.
While we are talking about a two-year period during which you conduct the repair of machinery. Practice shows that the model of the MiG-17, MiG-21, MiG-23, as well as ground armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles moved on a much longer time. Perhaps forever.
And here six aircraft near the airfield of the aviation sports club of a name of the Hero of Soviet Union Alexander chislova.
– We plan to create a Museum. And these planes are fair samples. Them the tint will be as good as new – promises the chief engineer of the club Anatoly Sivolapov. – The site is prepared, construction is under way. We do such a change! Slowly becoming the center, equal to which in Russia there is only in the Yaroslavl region and in Chechnya.
But the club, in the region known under the old name of “Young hawk”, was almost not ceased to exist. As told in the regional administration, the airfield was threatened with development. But illegally alienated land was returned and secured by the state. And now here continue to train novice and experienced skydivers. And here come even from other regions. Specially for the guests build something like a hostel. Because the jumps do early in the morning. Accordingly, to arrive with the evening.
Already built academic building of the parachute and flight training. The club has four planes an-2 and an-2PK. They serve not only the sports purposes. They pilots overfly the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain, watching the fires.
– we Have 45 guys all the time. This year we plan to state task to prepare about 400 young athletes from 14 to 30 years. We want to make a normal landing. In future wind tunnel, which will allow to train people on the ground and get faster results, – says the head of the parachute landing service Vladimir Nacida. – And become the country’s only flight sports school where you can practice free. Aviation specialty now in a huge deficit. In Soviet times, for example, in rescue service were candidate masters of sport parachuting, now experts do not have the experience of jumping. Is this right?
To the end of the summer, the center will be the sports town. This year is also scheduled the repair hangar and warehouse. The territory of the club is equipped with night lighting. In 2021 will build for shooting ground shooting, obstacle course and a climbing wall. So the old military equipment given a second life club.
