No, i can't to be a member of any club because i haven't the Russian pilot license. Vatulino is base for pa...

What kind of airplane have you been training in up to this point?

I'll be grateful for the contacts. Especially, I haven't been in IL state yet.

Yes, I understand. I'm not sure why flying in Puerto Rico would help that. I assume they will speak English with a Spanish accent. How would that help? I'm sure Southern California is quite busy. Maybe you should finish up and take your check ride in a more sparsely populated area in the US. At lea...

Hi guys! I need the opinions of somebody who have the knowledge and skill of flights in Puerto Rico. I should finish my flying education (I need 3 hours solo and check ride). Before this moment I had the practice in SoCal. I haven't any problem with control of airplane, but English radio conversati...

Really nice videos and really nice landings. I like the way that by about one wingspan above the ground the power comes smoothly back to idle - I try for that on most of my landings. Nothing drastically wrong with both hands on the yoke - but I think I'd prefer the pilot's right hand stay "cov...

Hey, Denis. Good to hear from you. I hope you are most successful in completing your fight training. It sounds like you have overcome many obstacles already. I and my wife were most fascinated by a bit of Russian flying history. Paul Allen (formerly of Microsoft) has a personal collection of histor...

Welcome aboard, Denis. Never flew in Russia, but I had a wonderful week in Moscow surrounding 4 Oct 2007 (50th anniversary of the Sputnik 1 launch). Guest of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and I was shown truly wonderful hospitality by my Russian colleagues. I look forward to going back (but pref...

Since then Moscow became not so cold. Global climate change.)
