Flight to Solovki

Writes blogger Sergey Dolya traveler:

On Wednesday, sitting in the office and thinking about what to do on the weekend, I had no idea that instead of the usual sofa Dubna, I find myself in Solovki. Yes, when we decided to fly to Arkhangelsk, but the idea is to fly from Arkhangelsk to Solovki, we came down the road from the airport to the hotel, and the following morning we departed on a charter flight to Solovki ...

On Saturday, a small Vaskovo Arkhangelsk airport had to be closed in the waiting room and we were alone: ​​



We have prepared a Czech aircraft L410:



Previous photo taken already in Solovki, where the weather was excellent, and the Arkhangelsk was snowing and we were a long time did not give permission to take off, because they could not clean the strip of snow:

About themselves Solovki I'll discuss in the near future, but for now I just want to say that it shows the Solovetsky Monastery on the banknote of 500 rubles:



On the way back we flew over several strategic objects. Here in these oblong sheds on the banks of stored nuclear warheads. Americans often come here with inspections:



And these hills is not nothing but a nuclear missile silos:



Severodvinsk City:



Its bay, we saw two submarines:



Unfortunately, to get to the area we could not and we've only seen a submarine from afar:



Just gardens:



And, as a bonus, a view of the city from aboard Aeroflot Novodvinsk
