Flying under the bridge in a fighter jet

June 3, 1965 a military pilot, Captain Valentin Privalov makes the world's only passage under the bridge on the jet. It was near Novosibirsk. After a training flight Privalov came out of the dense cloud directly to the Communal bridge across the Ob. Slowed, the MiG-17 slid three feet above the water. Privalov held tightly to the truss bridge and steeply gone upwards. For information: the size of the arch bridge - approximately 30 120 meters, wingspan of the MiG-17 - 9, 6 meters.

Here is how this case is a witness, a retired Air Force Major Anatoly Rybyakov: "With the third turn, he fell, and passed under the bridge. Speed ​​- somewhere 400 km / h. It was a bright, sunny day. People on the beach swimming, sunbathing, and suddenly - the roar and the plane soared candle, avoiding a collision with a railway bridge. It was clear that this can not hide ».

It is surprising that this act Privalov came with it. He was arrested almost immediately, but soon came to the Soviet Defense Minister, Marshal Rodion Malinovsky: "Flyer Privalov does not punish. Limited to those activities that are conducted with him. If you had not been on holiday, send on vacation. If you had to give ten days of rest when part of. " After that Privalov been promoted and he has made a career - became a squadron commander and then deputy commander of the regiment.





Tupolev-124 on the Neva

August 21, 1963 passenger Tu-124 under the command of Victor Mostovoy made a regular flight between Tallinn and Moscow. The route included a stopover to refuel in Leningrad. On the approach to the Northern capital it was discovered that one of the landing gear jammed and no longer available.

The deputy chief of the Leningrad Administration of Civil Aviation Vladimir Sirotin ordered the crew to make an emergency landing on a dirt strip in the country on proven technology - "on the belly." There winged fire engines and carriages of "first." The plane was circling over the city until the tanks will not be nearly empty.

And then came the next. "Board" panic reported that fuel produced completely and minimum fuel for approach no. This meant that the car could crash right at home. Fortunately, the bottom was the Neva, and Tu-124 sat on the water between Bolsheokhtinsky Finland and bridges. This is one of the rare cases in the history of aviation, from landing when the water jet is not destroyed.

The captain of the boat that was sailing along the Neva River, backed wing of the Tu-124 and began to push the plane to shore. Passengers and crew came down. Aviation authorities initially estimated the "feat" Mostovoi like carelessness, and expelled him from the squadron. But on board were foreigners, in a press uproar - and bridge again allowed to fly, and even awarded the Order.



As the plane took off without a pilot

This funny story happened in the village of Novo-Shulba that a hundred kilometers north-east of Semipalatinsk, in the mid-1960s. He is described in the Book of Honored Pilot of the USSR Turyskali Madigozhina "Extreme flying».

In winter, the village was almost impossible to get, so the power of Semipalatinsk organized by local airlines. They worked on it on-2 and Yak-12. On that day, the pilots have carried all the passengers on the three Po-2, but there are still three - the full load for the Yak-12 - which had to be in New Shulba. Nikolai Ulyanov - the day he was on duty commander - has decided to take them himself.

But found that the system of start of the engine Yak-12 is no air pressure is insufficient. Start the engine on the basis of Semipalatinsk - no problem, but how to be in New Shulba? Output is the same: on arrival not turn off the engine, and the commander to remain on the plane.

At that we decided to do. In New Shulba Ulyanov disembarked passengers, but it turned out that the township airport woman waiting for the flight to the city. Sitting in the cockpit working Yak-12 passenger waiting Ulyanov, when he saw visiting a landing-2. In an apparent underestimation of the glide path reduction, he realized that the pilot Po-2 (on the line working young pilots) sees no sign of a landing "T", which is "Yak" zaporoshil landing. Ulyanov jumped out of the cab and ran to the sign to clean it from the snow.

And at this time to the Yak-12 was already a passenger - a large lady in the winter clothes. She did not freeze near the plane, and climbed into the cab of the icy ramp. On the steps of the lady she slipped, fell flat on the pilot's seat and pulled the throttle.

The plane roared - it is heated engine immediately went to the takeoff. Brakes do not keep the car on the loose snow and the plane began to accelerate rapidly. Ulyanov was at this moment of "Yak" forty meters. Realizing what was happening, he rushed with all haste to the plane. One jerk Ulyanov pulled from the cockpit unlucky passenger, the benefit of her legs sticking straight out of the door. Unmanaged Yak-12 was dispersed, easily lifted off, climbed to an altitude of 60 meters, and down fell steeply.

PE investigated departmental commission, but a gross violation of instructions, as well as criminal negligence is not found. Nevertheless, many demanded to punish the pilot, the case was tried in the City Party Committee. As a result, Ulyanov left the aircraft on their own.



From Perm to Moscow - in the landing gear bay

In the winter of 2007, employees of the Moscow airport "Vnukovo" found on the runway frostbite guy. They found 14-year-old Andrei Shcherbakov from the village frequent the Perm region. As it turned out, he ran away from home and the airport of Perm climbed into the bay chassis Tu-154. It turned out that the teenager has done 1,300 kilometers from Moscow at an altitude of 10,000 meters, unpressurized compartment, but still behind at minus 50 degrees. At that nobody believed. Man taken to hospital, where he was amputated a few frostbitten fingers.

Meanwhile, the prosecutor's office has reviewed the state of emergency, and concluded that Shcherbakov is not lying. As the deputy head of the Sverdlovsk interdistrict investigative department of the Prosecutor's Office of Perm transport Alexander Kuznetsov, "including airborne soot and dust inside the gondola, we saw and photographed traces of shoes and hands the boy - in the place which he pointed out." The negligence of a few paid employees of the airport in Perm, and to Shcherbakov in his native village firmly stuck the nickname "astronaut."
