Bring the plane

We were approached by one of the enclosed public CB on our open spaces in sufficient quantities with a request to bring them to collect the plane. A complete dimensions were about 48 * 35 * 12, 5. Looking at who we were told that it would be impossible for the gateway because, according to the width we do not go through. Although at the time it all seemed fiction and no real work there was no smell ...
Then they came back to us about a month and propose a solution to the dismantling partially wings, although the exact size at that time no one knew but the conversation was that the width does not exceed 15 meters and the height they wanted to leave full.



This situation was clear as it can be implemented and we started to survey all routes. Based on the requests to the SBD, we concluded that to do the job with full height, we can not because of the height of bridges and offer customers dismantle the tail. The client agreed and we went to the final dimensions of 46 m * 15, 5 * 9.
By signing the contract and started realization started to manufacture the frame in which it establishes the basic ease of manufacturing it was a complicated geometry of the body.
By this time we were fully realized reports on the survey and basic lightness was unloading since the loading dock was old, which is still used to transport fuel tanks space shuttle Buran, at the place of discharge was the most present with obscure depths of the swamp and woodland .
Moreover, under the terms of the contract, our task was only in the delivery of cargo to the Dubna and unloading already assumed the customer because they are military men, they are just speculating - prigonyat pontoon put on his plane fusible on the frame and pull it through the woods ... a few times we tried to convince them otherwise but the result was achieved only after when they were sent ... with pontoon their colleagues.
But as a result of the ski on the frame front left (very much much he insisted on it at the manufacturing stage)
During the execution, we convinced them that we ourselves construct a dock in their swamp and borne him a sufficient depth while its length was obtained at least 200 meters in the water ...



But here we are at a secret airfield ... first we were taken aback by the size of all ... I personally have never seen a door height of 40 meters, which ride on the rails as the train and weigh 200 tons. Yes, there still exist bins at home. Going into the hangar aircraft was not yet dismantled and his only appearance was prepared inspiring one thing when you fly, and you do not think the second case when the position and I think that right now it is necessary to carry.



The second question was on the water since the barge and tug was already on it was already the type of gateway to cutting height of 13 meters and the water lapped at the river Samarka arrived since the flood came. And the most disgusting was that the height at the entrance to SAMARK was no more than 11 meters (height restriction road bridge) come very quickly to interpret and look for a replacement and found that. Putting in place the basic style kid RT to enter the SAMARK and to file for loading. Shipping Inspectorate until recently refused to put us on the pier is not valid, but trawling neighborhoods and correct pilot corrected the current approach.



Loading itself was not easy because the frame came and stood perfectly well.
The aircraft rolled out on the chassis of the box then already installed on the machine frame lowered plane.
Load and driving along the runway a couple of kilometers we reached the intersection on a public road which turned and started down to the pier to take the reverse (as the roll out in Dubna was before we need so we went back to the barge)
The main facility at this stage was to hand over backwards with such a burden on small 4 kilometer dirt road with a bias but I am very worried ... Before that, we were driven layout but the layout and the actual load is completely different things. But the driver did an absolutely masterful and no one stop we passed all 4 kilometers.



The main concern on arrival back to the barge - jumping out of the saddle pin tractor as he pushed up the goods.

After arrival, we brought the rest of the left and in Dubna, but the main problem was that the load on the 2 meter advocated dimensions barges and this resulted in additional project for gateways and traction as additional locking, tugs at.



In Dubna we landed 2 times on the rocks during the maneuvers that took away 4 hours clenching of the swamp but still came up and successfully rolled.
