RUSSIAN WINGS
Description:
" People have learned to fly better than birds, American newspapers admired on June 20, 1937, when a Soviet RD plane, overcame the North Pole, landed at a military airfield in Vancouver, Washington. The crew was headed by a simple guy from the Volga, the great-grandson of the burlak - Averyan Chkalov.
What kind of power does the Volga give? And stand on the Volga escarpment in the Lower, so the only desire is to spread your arms and fly into the sky. Here on the slope, along the Upper Volga embankment, we will pass those places where not only Chkalov but also Peter Nesterov walked, at the dawn of aviation, who turned a dead loop into a living one. We will get acquainted with a unique creation of technology - ekranoplan, tamed two elements - water and sky, and with its creator, who gave his name to the Polytechnic - Rostislav Alekseev. We will see on the way the mansions of those people who created the architectural beauty of the Lower before the revolution, and monuments to real heroes. And let's talk only about brilliant creators - pilots, inventors, entrepreneurs, writers. Perhaps together we will be able to reveal the secret why such people were born in the Lower!
The price includes:
- Walking route on the Upper Volga embankment, 2 hours.
