12. Summer day begins with a flight training



13. Crews are studying documents, spreadsheets and much more interesting and secret



14. In the 90 years, in connection with the collapse of the Union, was tight - do not fly. Now everything is much better - three days a week is given to flights and two - to prepare



15. In the class of pilots talk about the current situation, weather, and most importantly - on the task at hand. On board the main parameters of the current day



16. Mate's stash. Tips cribs desired numbers and much more

20. The pressure suit - personal equipment pilot to counter low barometric pressure in the event of cabin depressurization at considerable heights



21. Fitting the WCC and helmet

27. The D-30F6 - turbojet, two-shaft, with a total afterburner and variable supersonic nozzle. MiG-31, there are two. The afterburner - 15500 kgs each

IMHO particularly exciting



28. The main landing gear. I never paid any attention to her artful design. This configuration improves the patency of ice on the ground and airfields, as each wheel has its own line of the path, not thorite traditional Russian rut from which "can not escape»



29. The crew of Scout weather



30. After inspecting the aircraft crew takes place and performs preflight



31. The volume of air intakes under the channels allow to place the main landing gear in the retracted position. Moreover, the front flaps landing gear can be used as air brakes



32. The engine is started, the system checked



33. Take off!



34. Meanwhile, the technology is prepared to fly other aircraft that are planned after returning scout weather



35. Uncovering the planes, check equipment

40. Su-27



41. It turns out, that's it from drying tilted radome. Under it - very secret radar!



42. And our intelligence makes a pass over the strip and beautifully missed approach



43. Align and touchdown passes at a speed of 330 kilometers per hour. Then injected into the brake parachute



44. Target



45. In 1997, a modernization of the thirty-first (MiG-31BM), as Mo had no money for new machines



46. ​​



47. The crew after setting



48. A short report and filling out some documents



49. Pitot tube (LDPE)



50. Compared to the Su-27, the thirty-first it seems a bit clunky, but it really is - a formidable fighting machine



51. Elegant Su-27



52. The mysterious red-white device



53. Aircraft have to maintain, repair and renovate. It's all done in TECH



54. Visual aids for the Su-27



55. The access covers



56. Engine. Dunno how



56. Cab Su-27. The right side was asked not to show it. But if you really want to see very secret part of the cabin drying, you can look at Wikipedia



57. Gazovka TECH. Here they have engines



58. And some military routine



59. You will not believe, but really hang next two washbasins with shells (CEP either !!!)



60. Food rations



61. Assertive photographers climbed into the cockpit
