In-flight Refueling Technique

In-flight Refueling Technique

During "The General Repetition of Victory Parade" on May 5th everything was worked out as like it will be on May 9th. Air Forces of Russian Federation will present 32 aircrafts which will finalize a grand parade on the Red Square on May 9th, 2008.

On this picture, which I was lucky to take at the beginning of Tverskaya street during the general repetition, you can see the last practice of our best pilots showing the imitation in-flight refueling technique right on the Red Square. On the top front is the huge four-engine aerial refueling tanker IL-78 (NATO code name "Midas") sending a special pipe from his tale to make connection with refueling probe above the nose of the strategic bomber and missile carrier TU-95 (NATO code name "Bear") which is at his back. They are escorting from right and left by famous jet fighter aircrafts MIG-29 (NATO code name "Fulcrum").

I am an avid traveler and have never had a better guide than Arthur. His attentiveness to detail is unparalleled. My trip to Moscow was centered around the annual Victory Day parade and Arthur's advice was superb. He was able to scout out exact locations for me to shoot videos and pictures of tanks/rocket-launchers/etc going down the streets. This was impressive because the entire city was locked down yet Arthur literally told me where (within 5 feet) to set up my camera equipment for the best shots and without hassle. From the moment I arrived at the airport in Moscow (where Arthur was waiting for me with my name on a sign) to the moment he dropped me off, I felt very safe. His English is impeccable and knowledge of Moscow's history, culture and current events are top-notch. Also, I highly suggest his evening tour which offers some amazing photo ops.
