    Unfortunately, only those planes that do not fly do not fall. The main thing is that the pilots are alive.

    Fell and fell. Let your hair tear mattresses and their lackeys. They are not taught to pollinate or spray fields. If they do, it will be with napalm or other vile directed against us.

    As far as I know, our cadets of military pilot schools begin practical flights in the 3rd year and immediately on jet UT aircraft. Today it is a combat training Yak-130, which replaced the Czech jet L-39. Piston engines are used for initial flight training by future Civil Aviation pilots.

      And this is an aircraft with a theater of operations, not a piston engine.
