In the most remote region of Russia was due to the invitation of Vim Avia Airlines. Planes are flying from Moscow to Anadyr twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is interesting that today they are almost the only ones who flies in Chukotka: in addition Vim'ov only one more airlines to fly to the capital of the eastern edge of the country.
This photo story you will see great views from the window, as well as an overview of the aircraft, the aircraft of food and service on board.

1 express an expedition to Chukotka, we went with a few more bloggers. After hearing about a hungry edge, Andrew andrey_valuev scored with a whole bunch of food, including cherries, tomatoes and strawberries. However, immediately upon arrival fruit was somewhere snykany, and the more I did not see them.
2 takes off at sunset, storm clouds in an almost, but surprisingly shaking during takeoff was no. Then I read that in Moscow this week was cold, all complained of "a new summer xp *". Hey you, yeah Anadyr plus fifteen have heat and happiness!
3 until the load on the plane, rode past the stranded A319 just the same airline. Previously I thought that Vim Avia charter deals exclusively transport tourists to the resorts, but it turned out they had a rather large map of flights in Russia, with over distant regions.
4 Our aircraft - Boeing 757-200. He is not young, but inside looks good. Somehow I was afraid that the airplane: uzkofyuzelyazhnik capable to make the trans-Atlantic flights is something unusual.
5 That is, step seats in the passenger cabin 3-3, as in "small" 737, but the length of it while almost like the Airbus A330.
6 leather chairs, wide enough. In general - the standard. Distance leg too average, eight hours is not tired. Plus, I got a "reserved seat" and I won all three seats, in a horizontal position. I love it when it! Although once the plane from America I got four seats in the 747: the perfect bed!
7 We quickly took off and headed toward dawn: for the entire flight is not something that is not completely dark, in the Urals, we met a new sun. And when the flight back will be even more interesting. Flight to three days and will arrive in three days. Time in flight equal to the time zone difference between Moscow and Anadyr.
8 Who know their city in pictures? Somewhere about 30 minutes from Moscow.
9 And this is the Volga somewhere after Uglich.
10 After takeoff went to the end of the cabin, to communicate with the flight attendants. Find out the answers to several questions tormented me. For example, why are drinks first, and only then food? Why not both?
11 And here is how. At that moment, when the truck with soda and juice leaves the passengers, one of the flight attendants, the following operations: loads kasaletki hot meal in a special oven. Do not microwave inside are heating spiral. Foil longer retains heat. Dinners razgorevayutsya for twenty minutes: this is usually enough to cater for all passengers pour them drinks and return to load trucks in the new.
12 menu VIM-Avia always three hot dishes to choose from. They vary depending on the time of day, but once the season is completely updated.
13 Tomato juice. Most aviation taste the world! Some of the bloggers came up with the method of determining the quality of the airline by the presence of tomato juice on board. Like, if the other flavors more, and by the middle of the cabin tomato ends, the airline did not understand anything in the tastes of passengers. In Vim-Avia amount of tomato juice twice all other beverages combined. Seizing the opportunity, I begged the whole package! Yeah, I'm not original and passionate wilderness juice from tomatoes in each flight.
14 Today in the menu three dishes to choose from. Beef cutlet with rice, cod fish with potatoes in a rural and chicken with buckwheat. Selecting average kasaletku, I was not mistaken: I like. But a tray of food, we take a closer look later.
15 Anyone who has ever gone to the toilet on the plane (and show me someone who never went!) Seen here these iron boxes. They sealed them some leaves, it looks awesome. I wonder what's inside?
16 Nothing special! Food for the return flight, as in Anadyr not have its aviakuhni and any utensils such as pots and trays. The food does not go bad, as the plane flies back almost immediately after arrival, only the plane priberut and prepare for the new flight.
17 Behold, they brought food, and now you can see it better. We go from top to bottom, left to right. Capsule with slices of cheese, sausage and olives. A piece of black bread in individual package: it is I always have fun. Honey, melted cheese slice, napkins, spoons, forks and a cup of tea. Chocolate for dessert, the hottest: fish and chips, and the bun.
On the inside of the lid of the carton selection of interesting facts about aviation. I was interested to read it, let the many facts I already knew. But I love to read for a meal! By the way, about the tomato juice is separately written :)
18 After eating, it's time to sleep, the more that went for three seats. But the real avialyubiteley never sleeps. Andrew all the way something is photographed in the window.
19 And I'm perfectly pressed ferret five hours in a row. And I woke up when we flew to Chukotka.
20 Outside, it was very nice. Only parted curtain window, I realized that until I was planting it is no longer going to close. Sleep also vanished!
21 In my opinion, something like that I have seen from the window of the airplane on the way to Kamchatka whether, or to Sakhalin. I do not remember. Tundra takes a hefty portion of the east of Russia, after the end taiga.
22 Places is that it is necessary to look from the air, they are absolutely wild and unspoiled, wading out there on foot, on horseback or on transport unrealistic difficult without quadrocopters or aircraft not see all the beauty, all will be flat.
23 Boeing went to the landing, we saw only road leading from the coal mines. Yes, especially in Chukotka have nowhere to go, only to sail or fly on.
24
25 That's how far climbed! And, in fact, very close to Anchorage: it is necessary to learn flying anything from here to Alaska?
26 After landing and before takeoff many pilots open the door to the inner sanctum, and you can manage to take a picture of the cabin.
27 Airport Anadyr very small, takes literally a "long-range" flight of the day and a few of areas.
28 We reserve the plane to unload our luggage and go on a tour of the airport.
29 On the platform, but "our" Boeing airplanes are a few screw local "Chukotavia" and a helicopter with a sticker Olympic Torch Relay. Immediately obvious somewhere on it carried the torch. Airport staff said that before it was a personal helicopter Abramovich, interior trimmed in leather.
30 Here, several military transport planes and helicopters: Anadyr Airport has a dual purpose, as originally did was solely the military: civilian life are also focused because of them.
Terminal 31 is small, but "serious". In Russia, perhaps, no other airport terminals this level, so modernly equipped. Well, a couple of flights a day also: and here, and modern reception, and "smart" baggage handling system, and even a kind of interior design.
32 Furthermore, the international airport. Flights from abroad arrive here oh how often, almost always the charters, but you need to have the opportunity. But the guards on duty at the airport around the clock. The fact that the entire Chukotka district so far, from the Soviet era, is a border zone. And upon arrival each passenger check documents and special permits that must be obtained in advance of the FSB Border Service. By the way, if you do not have permission, and you are a citizen of Russia, the worst thing that you face - an hour of lost time to fill out the protocol and a fine of 500 rubles. But foreigners happy to be deported.
With 33 posters inside the airport you will be told about the beauty of Chukotka. But to see it all live, you can only set off from the same airport by area in a helicopter. Cost of flight personnel hours - 200 thousand rubles. That is why I will limit this time Anadyr and villages on the other side of the estuary.
34 The airport has several cafés, lounge communication where you can buy a SIM card (recommend for roaming even in the Internet are biting), but they work only scheduled arrivals / departures flights. Careless, and I found myself without a sim card, and without food. All went home.
35 But they showed us the airport management system. It works on the principle of "smart home": you can not just follow all the parameters remotely, and manage every location, each pump, each light bulb or a lock on the door
36 There are two apron.
37 Although the airport "Coal" and is considered an air harbor Anadyr, before him an incredibly long time to get here. Because the city lies on the other side of the estuary, the narrowest place - six kilometers away, there is a boat from the pier, where the distance between the banks 13. and navigation is only open a few months short northern summer. In winter, when the ice strong, can be reached in 2000 rubles for the winter road on a boat with an air cushion. In the off-season - only a helicopter.
38 Why do not you build a civilian airport on the other side of the estuary? Why not built a big city near a military band? All this secrecy and conspiracy. But "the transport scheme" is said by locals, very uncomfortable. And nothing can be done about it.
39 Our plane went back to Moscow to take us a week. We flew here in a half-empty interior, and back, they say, is always packed.
40 Found Soviet Globe. You can see that from Anadyr to Alaska is not so close, put a goal to someday reach Ueleka, there remains only the Bering Strait and the Americas. Some are moving to swim brave: do not, of course, but in a small boat. And, you know, come to the shore. Sometimes.
41 Well, the journey begins on the Chukotka! And you do something far beyond just climbed?
