Press tour to the 43-th center of combat use and retraining of flight personnel
Last week, with a group of bloggers and journalists, I visited the 43-th center for combat use and retraining of flight crews in Dyagilevo (Ryazan). I would like to immediately thank the press club of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and Colonel Bybko Vasily Vladimirovich for organizing a press tour. It was dedicated to the centenary of the Air Force this year. Now about the trip.
In front of the military town we were met by many famous representative of the Air Force - Tu-16!
After examining it, we headed directly to the 62632-B military unit.
Our acquaintance with the part began with a visit to the officers ’cafeteria, which was very opportune, since we had time to get hungry.
They feed well, you can choose a dish from several options.
The second is served 3 side dish simultaneously
Then we were taken to the museum.
The task of the center is briefly transferred:
It is located in the headquarters building.

A bit about the museum. In Diaghilevo there is the only museum of DA (Far Aviation), but since 2009 he has been working exclusively on a voluntary basis, which does not seem practical. He was expelled from the states by order of the Secretary of Defense, and his employees were fired. The museum needs funds.
The museum director conducts a tour:
There are many rare photos, documents, exhibits
Ilyushin form
Photos, awards, form A.E. Golovanova
Instruments Tu-16
Cone from the air refueling system. The first samples were very heavy, one day when refueling the cone badly damaged the plane.
Aircraft design gun Richter
Emergency ration
Helmet of the deceased taking the plane from the houses of Lieutenant Colonel Oskin
No competition in any way =)
Then we went to the museum parking aircraft
So, the legendary M-4! The world's first jet heavy strategic bomber. As a firstborn, he was characterized by a high accident rate during takeoff and landing. During the operation broke about a third of the aircraft. The reason is that the car easily fell on its side during gusts of wind, as the wings are raised low.
TU-95. Since it is difficult to place it in a frame, I had to climb on the M-4 :)
Tu-22 in different versions
Tu-16
Training Tu-134
VM-T - on it transported Buran
Next was preparing to paint the plane
After the museum we were taken to the runway, where strategists were preparing for takeoff. Training flights are carried out regularly, at least 3-x once a week. Preparation and its logical continuation:

Then it was the turn of the transport workers:
Transport workers work "Afghan sunset"
And finally flew a brand new A-50
On this, our visit to the airfield came to an end ... But before the way back we were still fed a delicious dinner :)
What else to say ... Aviation is great! And we will always remember this day with the roar of engines and aviation flights :)
