Lisy Nose Pictures May 23, 2003.

I took all pictures below on my spring trip to Russia in 2003.
I had a few hours to kill and I went to Lisy Nose airfield where I meet Alex Shegolev. As far as I can remember he was always around pilots and if someone do not know him in St. Pet - they probably not DOSAAF pilots.

Alex showed me around and now you can see what I saw

I am in AN-2 I am sitting in AN-2 that was flying a parachute jumpers that day. I am in AN-2 Close-up Close-up of me sitting in AN-2.
AN-2 Parked AN-2 RA-00484 of St. Petersburg (Russia) Aeroclub. Blanik L-13 I just wanted to sit in Blanik. It still has DOSAAF markings on it.
Blanik angain I flew that particular L-13 back in 80'. Blanik with closed Canopy Still fit inside the cockpit, amazing!
I am in L-13 Alex, who was taking pictures became a trigger happy with my digital camera and took all the pictures he wanted. Getting out of Blanik Time to move along.
Almost out Well, when L-13 strapped - it's a bit harder to get in and out. PZL-104 picture Wilga, PZL-104 still towing gliders in St. Petersburg.
Another picture of Wilga I took a number of pictures of PZL-104 as I haven't seen too many good ones on the Net. Getting in Wilga We had to remove all covers to take pictures of Wilga.
PZL-104 dash picture Wilga's dash. Wilgas back seat There kept tow ropes and other stuff required for glider flights.
Wilgas cockpit Another shot of PZL-104 dash and cockpit. I am on a right seat in Wilga I took a right seat as the left one didn't have a parachute.
Getting used to Too many memories going back in 80's. Wider view Just another shot of me sitting in Wilga.
Wilga PZL-104 I still fit inside. Different view OK, a bit too many pictures, I agree!
Getting out from PZL-104 Time to get out. It has been 13 years now fells like yesterday! Final step to jump Get out! Really!
Wilga side view Side shot of Wilga. PZL-104 from the right I climbed on a ladder (and nearly fall) to take this picture. Metal hangar with Jantars and Blaniks where I am heading from here can be seen behind Wilga.
AN-2 parked alone and ready to go We are walking to the hangar and I just took this shot of AN-2. Four AN-2 parked Fourth AN-2 can be barely seen behind center AN-2.
Inside the hangar Inside our hangar that was overtaken by parachutists. Our Jantars' and L-13's stored here. Jantars stored This was one of our best Jantars - number 59.
Jantars and Blaniks Overal shot inside the hangar. You can see L-13's and Jantars here.
