Lucky Tu-154

September 7th, 2010 in the Russian sky number of guardian angels has exceeded all records. The gods of all faiths, religions and nationalities gathered over the village Izhma. Miracle. Happiness. Coincidence. Happy tail number. A happy crew and 72 passengers.
In the history of aviation, this state of emergency, and state of emergency is not, and certainly not a disaster will go down in history as Izhmenskoe miracle. A miracle that occurred with the same Tupolev Tu-154. The investigation was completed, the plane flies again extensively, the culprits were awarded.
For me, this event - a holiday, or rather, there were two days of landing and take-off the day.
In his photo essay (Photo by various authors, of course not mine), I just want to emphasize the high level of professionalism and a great love for his work employees of airlines "ALROSA". Other airlines have dropped their board in the forest and would have forgotten about it. But this way employees and / to "Alrosa" is not enough, a lot of money has been spent on the restoration, the exact amount in rubles will not say, but I will say only one thing - it's more than two dozen million rubles. For the second diamond mining company in the world, in principle, the amount is not large. But it was a matter of principle to pull out of the "iron lucky" from the taiga, they succeeded brilliantly. Well done.

In general, the plane sat on an abandoned strip airport Izhma.



The following day, they cut down trees around the aircraft, put the shed.

As you can see from the photos, the plane hardly damaged, dents, scratches, plucked the antenna does not count.
What to do?
In Pulkovo, Novosibirsk and other cities, a huge number of carcasses with the resource - buy, fly.
3 months ago, before the accident, "Aeroflot" has destroyed all of its Tupolev and scrap on wagons brought in an unknown direction, "Siberia" still do not know what to do with their Tushkanov.
Unprecedented decision - to restore, renovate and re-let the line of air transportation.
Almost half of the year was a time-consuming work. Tu-154 installed in the end of the band, started a lot of work.
By mid-March of this year, everything was ready to send the aircraft into the long-awaited flight. On Internet forums envious and provocateurs could not calm down, many do not believe in the success.



Morning of March 24, 2011 was a sunny, windless and frosty. The very weather was favorable for a successful take-off, it's time to go to the airport
Frost made his case, pre-flight de-icing fluid pouring produce a very original way, but it is better to pour so, and in any way "Aeroflot" in the New Year holidays.
Before you have a visual aid for the airline "Aeroflot".
