Cleaning up the Air Force Museum in Monino

Morning at the museum began as usual - with the placement of ladders. Dima PP, head of the group to restore the Tu-144, towing a motor-block ladder for access "Supersonic».





Stepladder rolls under the plane (do not think bad - I just make a frame vpryagsya push the ladder on the ground).



Ladders are installed under the board. Upcoming regular work to revive the system of descent / ascent nose fairing.



This is the third cabin Tu-144, which is in the stage of restoration. Chairs are covered with original covers, but the foam inside rotted, it is necessary to interrupt again, and a lot of chairs.



At this point in the cabin over a two-year saga to replace the panels Call stewardess, broken by vandals in the early 2000s. Here is an old broken panel and a modern replica, made by special order.



Part of the roof sheathing is removed, so that the wire bundles seen. The most valuable of cable stolen long ago, but the restorers placed the remaining so that the loss is not noticeable.



In the tail cabin - two outs, the door to the toilets and luggage compartment, as well as one of the two purchased this year dryer. More around the aircraft spread bags of silica gel.



Aircraft electrified working staff coverage, for which power is supplied to the panel.



We have gathered three of us in the luxury saloon, where Sergey The diagram shows the existing problems.



Briefly, the essence is. In the figure, indicated by a green chain management lowering the nose, red - lifting. To put them into action, one must first apply power to the tumbler two electric motors, and other selected direction. But the inclusion of small engines, should work more and special coupling connecting the motor to the worm mechanism lifting / lowering. Clutch "good will" only full operation of the scheme. When the cone reaches one of the end positions, triggered contactors, turn off the power of engines. In this case the relay when the motor coupling № 1. In addition, it was necessary to check the operation of the contactors.



Sergey went to the fairing, and Natasha remained in the cabin to monitor the lights when checking chains. The entire control system operates at 27V, the flight engineer on the table, you will notice the power supply.



In the lowered shutters among the original electronics wormed modern elements to 220.



Relay number 15 is involved in the scheme, lowering / lifting the nose fairing.



In the copilot's seat hides a box Motor protection (DRC) № 2. By the way, on the left - a similar box for one of the engines of manufacture of wings, but it is almost the work has not started yet.



Natasha rises in the fairing to help Sergey.



But what can be seen by looking through the hatch of the fairing. Cockpit ends spherical projection, and out on the windshield wipers can be seen. And in the middle is just a mechanism lowering / lifting the nose.



Meanwhile, on the ground in front of Dima plane PP with Lesha knitted reinforcement for filling ramp.



For the construction of a half-ton has been prepared mixes mix a lot of water, two buckets schebёnki. Later, they brought more 360 ​​kg of mixture.



Kneaded in a makeshift "crater" of the same cement.



Around this time, Oleg and Vova jacks lifted the MiG-29 and pumped his wheels. Aircraft prevents review of Tu-144 and will get out of here.



Except about the Tu-144 at the museum throughout the work was in full swing. The boys rolled to the tail ladder Tu-95N for dismantling the remnants of the rudder (RN), torn by the wind.



I climb up the ladder and to observe the work. Kostya drills, Pasha assists.



Of the eight screws unscrew the casing, only one, the rest had to be drilled. To this end, the aircraft was delivered to a generator and an electric drill.



Birds, arranging nests had completely fill the straw chip steering.



To help the children I could not nothing, but walked around and took off keel plumage museum with unique perspectives.





When the remaining piece was dismantled, it has developed in the hangar next to the main part of the steering wheel. At the moment, it has had to take to repair the repair plant in the Ryazan.



In the same hangar number 7, work continued on the restoration of "flying banana» Vertol 44C employees of the public organization "Albatro



Repair sponsoring several companies, including the Russian representative Boeing.



Cab with a lens removed.



Near rebytya-breaking wing fuel tank on the Yak-17.



More live cat in the hangar, take food for her, if you compile in Monino!



The cat went for a walk on the grass between the MI-6, and sitting on a stepladder Yuri smooth out bearing, taken from the legendary VVA-14.



On the square in front of the hangar aircraft tugs sleep long defective.



Under the wing of "Fiddler" Tu-128 stretched a hose from a fire hydrant.



Fire gained capacity in the hangar "unique aircraft».



In the parking lot, "Tupolev" painted covers air intakes.





Galya from the "Albatross Aero" renovate numbers.



Stepladder was rather low, had to contrive.





In the area of ​​helicopter Mi put in order.



With the helicopter is operated by a brave girl Irina.



The body is sight, to look at the heavy, she single-handedly dismantled.



And Natasha lucky: she is engaged in the Mi-24V, which only in 2011 entered the museum from the liquidated MUAB VVIA them. NE Zhukovsky. The helicopter in the "zero" state, even the machine gun on the ground. May 9 will be admitted to the car everyone!



Even in this nearly perfect car I found a job: repair the door lock.



By the end of the day I returned to the Tu-144, which was a private tour, which opened the hatch in the rear passenger compartment.



Another unique opportunity to work day - out on the wing of a supersonic airliner.



Jack looks with satisfaction on the poured concrete ramp. Now, the ladder will stand on a level. It remains a distant flooded land on which will pass ladder (now accounts for a large part of the ramp go around on the grass).
