I immediately remembered a bearded anecdote:

In a small provincial town, the dispatcher gives permission for the aircraft to take off. At this time, the airport employee mows the grass along the taxiway, from the equipment - the scythe, the real classic scythe.
The weather is so-so, it is raining, and the man put on his raincoat. Mowing grass ... At this moment, the plane is taxiing for takeoff along this very track.
The dispatcher announces the hands-free command to clear the lane. A man walks away 30 meters, stands and waits. A hood on his head, cloak floors fluttering, a scythe in his hand. The board rolls past, the uncle kindly waves the carriage. Everyone on the plane sees a waving figure with a scythe and in a fluttering black cloak ...
Pilot dispatcher:
- Dispatcher, tell your mowers - let them even put a scythe, until all the passengers jumped through the hatches!

There are no main flights; annual parachute jumps from the local regiment are performed. RP is a former pilot himself, and his attitude towards this event, like most of his colleagues, is sympathetic. Some sort of flying side (An-24 or 26), asks permission to fly over the point.
RP answers: I allow. Will you be fine at 4500? And then we are now dropping people.
On board: I understood you, 4500, I will not wedge myself. Mine until the final paid.

You should tell a “joke” about how my mother saved a passenger airliner by working on a “drive” when it flew over the training flights area ... You can shoot a short film!

[figwam]

They carry out missile launches, so this is military equipment and rightly so.

Persistent rumors were circulating about past Vityaz cars that their construction was facilitated by throwing as much as possible exactly what related to weapons. But the new machines from the flight crews are serial.

[alexmach]

That is curious, but do they go to interception using the same technique that they perform on?

Well, not "throwing", but removing (dismantling). You can install all the blocks in their place in the process of preliminary preparation for the flight in a couple of hours.

It is unlikely that APU and AKU were dismantled, SUV units are interfaced with many systems.

March 30, 2016 Cuban LTU. We flew to the Su-27, Su-30 drove in October.

They can be intercepted without missiles, the intruder having distinguished corporate camouflage Vityazey will take all measures to quickly leave the car, I joke.

[Holoy]

I saw them in Samara! I like it!

[NN52]

Well done boys!

They come from combat units there. Do not forget means how to intercept ..
And Mig 31 means they raised from Savasleyka ...

"Russian Knights" on Su-30SM aircraft intercepted an air target

... refueled at the base

[Doliva63]

What's the news? So, we have all the "aerobatic teams" - Air Force units. Class and others. Directly depend on the volume of KBP.

[NN52]

Are you sure? This is really the first time, and the news is cool ... This has not happened before.
And they take the best there .... Like for example Sergey Eremenko ....

[Doliva63]

On the Radioskanner site, it seems, there were negotiations when performing the KBP - at the training ground and in the air. 3-4 years, probably. So "everything is calm in Baghdad"
