It’s a pity to congratulate Daddy - he’s gone ... Since 1944, first at the Black Sea Fleet, then at the Baltic Sea as a navigator of the Naval Aviation, then again fate abandoned the Black Sea Fleet. I started with pawns, then Tu-2, then Il-28 ...

[Vladimir Mashkov]

ALL happy holiday! Participants - especially!

On this day, July 17, 1916, four M-9 seaplanes of the Baltic Fleet were able to defeat the forces of German aviation in an air battle. These “flying boats” were produced by a domestic manufacturer and excelled foreign seaplanes in a number of parameters.

The M-9 had the world's first cannon armament on a seaplane. The M-9 was also equipped with a Ruza-type radio station. On September 17, 1916, on the M-9 seaplane for the first time in the world with a passenger on board, Lieutenant Y. Nagursky performed Nesterov's loop and this record was recorded as a world record.

Although waterfowl, today I will raise the cup for the youngest and most heroic part of naval aviation - deck, ship-based aviation.
I recall Timur Apakidze, Nikolai Edush, Alifanov, friend (sidekick) Vitya Karaush ...
Who is not - a blessed memory to them, forever gone into heaven ...
And to those who are alive - health, happiness, GOOD LUCK!
Well, and young people - a huge sky "MILLION FOR MILLION" !!!
Sincerely yours. KAA.

Well, MRA was dispersed earlier in the late 90s, but on the whole, the Navy’s commander-in-chief also dispersed MA in order to maintain the regular number of ship personnel. And now the remnants of MA are replenished only at the expense of the parts where the Su-30SM are, And the rest is all out of breath.
