Well, here are the soviet “rigid airframe airships” or blimps for short (even though blimps don’t really have a rigid airframe). Anyway, if you ignore these formalities, you can see that Soviets were actively developing and using their blimps…
The interesting story behind a blimp your looking at right now, was that on September 6th 1935, due to a strong wind gust this blimp was blown off the airbase even though it had 60 anchored cables tying it to the ground. Long story short, a captain of the ship (N.S. Gudovancev) that at the time was on the ground, was able to catch one of the supporting cables and climb on to the ship, when it was already 120 meters up in the air. In the cabin , there were 4 adults and 11 children. When the height was 800 meters, he was able to start the engines and 5 hours and 45 minutes he safely landed the blimp after the bad weather had passed. The captain who had saved the ship (as well as people) received an Order of Red Star.

Today Russia beat Netherlands 3:1, and therefore it will be the first time that Russia will ever play in the semifinals of European Soccer Cup. Obviously tonight, thousands of fans (700,000 in Moscow alone) had stormed out on the streets of Russia to celebrate this amazing victory. Not to be outdone, Russian people living in New York did exactly the same thing, popping out on Brighton Beach (the Russian neighborhood in New York), beeping their car horns, blowing whistles, blocking couple of streets, and eventually getting cops called on them who helped control the crowd, enjoy…
P.S. The best part of the day was seeing some girl blowing a whistle while cheering, and then two grown men chasing her to get that whistle away from her just so they could be the loudest…
We already covered this this ex-military pilot in Russia who used to fly Tu-154, and recently became a captain on Boeing-737 flying for one low cost Russian air carrier, but instead of making you look for all 5 parts, we wanted to unite all of his incredible pictures into this one gallery. The guy’s name is Alexiy, but he calls himself “letchik leha” which would literally translate as “pilot alexiy”, he has been taking spectacular pictures from the cockpits of the airplanes for the past three years. Here are his pictures of the sky, ground, as well as airplanes - basically everything that he sees at his job daily. All of the pictures we are posting here are taken by him, and you can find more at his journal here…
