Begin mei, Rusland.

"The cold war is ramping up. Nike Hercules and Delta Darts took over the deterance role.
Objekt 108 and 135 were shelved. Missile projects took over.

High officers and politicians quickly realised Multi Purpose Strategic Bombers still had a role.
Also known as the "4th general strategic weapon system", the "Byela Lebed" spread its wings into life.

The first was built in the middle of Moskovskaya city, disassembled and flown at Zhukovskiye.

6 were at Zhukovskiye/Ramenskoye. 19 at 184 regiment Priluki. 6 were based at Engels. 35 were built.
When the Ukraine collapsed 11 were ostentatiously scrapped; US funded. 8 aircraft were rebought for 285
million dollars by the Russian Federation from the now depleted Ukraina.

6th of november 1999 a glorious day; 121 Guards Heavy Bombers Regiment repatriated the first swan"

Terug naar het beloofde land.

Chkalovsky was een probleem. De eerste dagen was het 25 graden en heatwaves galore.
De laatste dag was het plots -1 en sneeuwde het zo hard dat de baan niet meer te zien was.
Vorige keer leverde dit bezoek 70 kisten op. Deze keren was het een soort leeg Ramstein van het oosten.

8 mei draaide het weer om. We gingen van 25 graden en heatwaves naar onder nul en sneeuw.

Eigenlijk hoort hier nu een Bear Hotel nu te komen.

Eerst gevlogen erna 5K+ gereden, en hoe denk je dat je 27 vliegvelden in 9 dagen doet. En verder zeg ik niks, En nu een Bear.

3 stuks op zondagmorgen:


Echt waar, niet normaal.

Met het vliegtuig lijkt me dat te doen, met een auto lijkt me dat een stuk lastiger.

Lieve Vaduz ik heb ooit 11000 km gereden in 2 weken.

Laatste keer was 5k in 9 dagen, al lomp zat. Record is 16,000 km in 3.5 weken in ConUS met 11 staten. States vond ik wat minder. Dan kun je oneindig doorgaan.
