    And my question is purely for broadening my horizons: if during the parade some PTB thread falls off from the plane and gets on the head DIFFERENT, will the technicians at the airport then be abused? wassat

    And why the heck are they PTB? Have you read the list of areas of deployment? What is there to fly to Red Square - and to homes ... Well, if something, God forbid, falls off ... then it’s definitely not the technicians at the airport who will be "scolded" ...

    In principle, the flight crew flies in difficult conditions. Thank you guys!!!
    In the recent past, during the training of the air parade
    two birds hit the plane (one struck a lantern, the other knocked out the engine).
    The plane returned safely to the airfield.
