Kizhi Island. June 2017.

In the summer of 2017, I had a chance to visit Kizhi Island. But not for free, as I usually love. I had to pay 7,000 rubles in 4 days. But given the fact that this amount was included, accommodation and travel to the island, then not so expensive. How do you probably know, in the summer I work

That's just standing on Earth we never see all of his charms. But thanks to high-quality photos, you can learn for yourself a lot of interesting little things, how delightful and luxuriously striking in the distance of the airliner.

Where, like neither in the pictures with soaring, we can take a closer in the sky with their beauty and greatness? After all, from the Earth we never understand until the end of this wonderful human creation.

Hearing the noise of the airliner, and raising his head to swell, we notice only a small point, leaving behind a white air track. And the photos give us an excellent opportunity in all the smallest details to watch ease and ease of flight of any liner. They are captured by such moments that are unlikely to see a simple observer. Each moment, filmed in the photo unique and unique.

Despite the large dimensions of the aircraft, unwittingly compare it with a bird in the clouds, it looks in the sky is also harmonious and superb. The soul overflows pride and joy from the fact that it is created by the hands of a person.

Photo of aircraft in the endless heavens make sure that people are much die, because he was able to realize his desire to fly in reality! Such pictures motivate perfectly and help believe themselves. Look at these wonderful photos and know: We are all subject to us, the main thing is just wanting!

And the event that took place a week before it began.

Irkut invited me to participate in the air photo session of two aircraft preparing to perform at the air show - Yak-130 in the new Red Retro-Livreye and Su-30cm - upgraded drying for the Russian Air Force. The story about how I with the operator Pavel Novikov filmed them from the Ramp of the An-12 aircraft.

Rampa in aviation is a device designed to load and unload the aircraft. It is a mechanized hatch in the nose or tail of the fuselage, capable of falling on the surface of the perron:

Who has never seen military transport An-12, showing. The red ramp is highlighted, which opens for landing or as in our case, for photographing the following flying aircraft:

To access the shooting from the board transport aircraft, you need to go through the medical team of the expert commission (VLEK) and have a life insurance policy. For a video operator, the requirements are not so hard as, for example, for stewardess or a berryman. Not to mention pilots.

I have a vision limitations (that is, I can only shoot with transport workers and helicopters), and Pasha generally handsome - he can be removed from fighters! That he actually has been successfully done for several years. He began in the MiG company, flew with Russian knights on SU-27, participated in the filming of various films - artistic and documentary, even flew to MiG-25. He studied in Vgik on the course Vadim Yusov, now working with the "Star" TV channel.

Just so standing the open ramp no one will allow. Upon its perimeter, the grid and belts were tightly stretched, and the bar was tightly screwed to the feet. The operator has a special climbing gear, to which the insurance screwed into the floor is cling. Moreover, the size of insurance is calculated strictly on such a distance so as not to fall out of the mesh:

Its two cameras (second and third brand) with lenses 24-70 / 2.8 and 70-200 / 2.8 with long straps I flock through the neck. Practice has shown that 70-200 was most often used. Ideal here would be one lens 28-300, but I do not have it.

Pasha in anticipation. By the way, you need to dress warmly. At an altitude of 100-1500 meters, the temperature is ten degrees below than on Earth. For example, the leather jacket of the flyer from thick skin is perfect for! The head of the paratrooper somewhere also personally got:

After the set, you need a height give us a sign that it's time and we run fasten to closed while Ramp. On the operator headset for negotiations with the pilots of An-12, but with the noise of the engines it is almost useless.

And so, when we stand fastened with the cameras in advance, the ramp open! Flies a little dust, I expected more garbage and wind. A minute later, the first participant of the Yak-130 photo session appears:

Managed aircraft Honored Tester Tester, Hero Roman Taskayev and Test Navigator 1st Class Sergey Kudryashov:

On Earth on a pre-flight briefing before shooting, we discussed its conditions. Height, speed, "model" distance to operators, maneuvering and shapes of pilotage that should be captured. The height is 1000-1500 meters, the nearby distance of the object of shooting to the ramp - 25 m, at the reject 10-15 m.

And above and not needed, because the object will fall into a sensitive jet from the An-12 engines, and in this mode it is impossible to pilot, and the picture will die.

We did not have the choice of shooting time, and ideally "air-air" should be carried out at sunrise and sunset and preferably somewhere in the area of \u200b\u200bthe mountains.

The route ran from Zhukovsky to Egoryevsk and back.

And this is still some kind of lakes there (I am looking for, looking for on the map, I can not find) I have a loved one to look at and recognize the places taken from the plane. But here the track was not registered.

The first few minutes of Yak-130 went smoothly, and then went moving. For the dynamic picture, Pasha asked pilots to shift and make several barrels and leaving in different directions.

The plane after maneuver directly under us quickly leaves the frame:

"Barrel". And Rrzraz!

And three! 22-minute Shooting Yak-130 is finished.

Yak-130 will be filmed, the ramp closes and you can take it out waiting for the next "model", which at these moments starts with the Ramenskoye airfield. The connection was transferred that Su-30cm will appear in a few minutes.

At first, the Su-30cm merging with the terrain could not discern, but when we noticed it. Averyanov Vyacheslav Yuryevich is a pilot-test and tested base "OKB dry". The second pilot his son Eugene:

General view from the Ramma An-12:

The plane is so close that you can meet with the pilots. We are not highlighted at the ramp behind the grid and they do not see us. For consumer effect, brake shield is available:

Multipurpose ultra-supersayer Su-30cm fighter is the further development of the SU-30MKI combat aircraft family:

Delivery contracts 60 Su-30cm in the period up to 2016 were concluded between the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and OJSC Corporation Irkut in 2012.
