aviation [Theme]

Suddenly, unexpectedly, well, completely, absolutely. Just imagine that a shell flew into the plane and exploded. The engineer reports to me on board: “Good news commander, the fire is extinguished! ". The earth was climbing, as if you were not descending, but the earth was climbing on you. How it dawned on me! I give the helm away from myself, consciously, I give the helm away from myself. Sharply gave and sharply took and looked. The plane moved slightly even. And it means that the plane rocked a little like that. And I look at the corners slightly increased, increased, increased. But I’m looking at the device, and it stopped at one point near the one and stands. Then again, fluff! All devices worked, switched to subsonic. Phew, well, that's it.

Where aviation begins, order ends.

The order, which was given to the Air Force command from June 21 to 22, was not carried out.

Aviation will give new food to the religious spirit of humanity. It will add air space to those great seekers of cosmic mood like forest, sea, desert.

And how good is the writer Mark Lazarevich Gallay. You cannot call him an extra-class pilot either, but how much knowledge he gave in aviation science to people in his famous books and scientific works. At the test pilot school, in our course, he taught "Flight Test Technique." We really enjoyed listening to his lectures. Oral lectures. Alexander Vasilyevich Fedotov, then Sasha, the headman of our course, diligently recorded all his lectures, which were later published in a separate edition. Much has been said about the safety of test flights ...

In our country, many pilots took up the pen. Praise them. They left a lot to people from the history of aviation, about the people who made this aviation. And not one of them paid attention to the technical staff of people, true patriots of aviation. Low bow to them from all living and dead pilots.

And then the war years worked: a weak, half-starved, and even in the fifth grade, when we have a wounded Pe-2 plane in Khvoinoy, he came in for landing, cut the tops of three pine trees near the railway bridge, crashed into the house where the Zagotzerno office was located. 11 people were killed. They are buried in our cemetery in a mass grave. I then ran away from the lesson to Zagotzern, saw all this terrible tragedy and vowed: I will be a pilot.

Pilot, navigator, radio operator and lead engineer - This is always the backbone of the flight experiment.

The main concentration of attention is one of the main qualities of a pilot.

- Let's blow the.
- No, we won't do that.
- But why?
- Because roosters don't fly!

... If everything invented and developed on the ground worked as flawlessly in the air, flight tests would not be necessary. And you and I would urgently have to change our profession.

Test pilots are often referred to as aircraft examiners. This is honorable and generally correct. But we must not forget that if a test pilot examines an airplane, then the airplane also examines a test pilot every time, in every flight. And he does it with all the severity. The cut off person will often never be able to try to correct the mark.

A person does not have wings and in relation to the weight of his body to the weight of muscles is 72 times weaker than a bird ... But I think that he will fly, relying not on the strength of his muscles, but on the strength of his mind.
