First of all planes

In my town there is an aircraft factory. In the best of times it was collected up to 15 Yak-42 per year. With the collapse of the Union, the company was in decline, and five years ago the production of cruise machines has been completely stopped. The huge area of ​​87 hectares. All that bad lay, have successfully found their new owners. However, the plant still shows some signs of life, and for 2009. already scheduled for a single (!) of the aircraft. But the story is not about that ...
In one of the past May Day there took place the so-called open day. Since childhood, having a soft spot for all sorts of aircraft, could not visit this company.
