Nizhny Novgorod, Nesterov Street
Description:
The monument to Nesterov is located in Nizhny Novgorod and is of particular interest to tourists interested in the history of aviation.
The monument was erected in Nizhny Novgorod during Soviet times, in 1987. Across the road from the monument there is another attraction, namely the monument to the Newpore, the aircraft of the famous pilot.
Pyotr Nesterov is a famous Russian aviator, who is not only the developer of the very first aerobatics figures, he is also a pioneer of the capabilities of various aircraft for air combat. It was Nesterov, the first in the history of aviation, who made the “dead loop” that glorified him throughout the world, and also carried out an air ramming, which, alas, turned out to be deadly for the pilot.
