Valentin, a friend of mine, an ex-helicoter pilot from Siberia, and a former flight college mate, has just granted an access to his photo-archive. I almost have no words to express how much I appreciate such a deed on his part, and - how excited I am.. He has accomplished an effort of epic proportion, having scanned old negatives. And then he, driven by his good faith, uploaded them on the Internet.

No doubt, we’ve got a chance to enjoy an impressive, a very good quality collection of aviation-related imagery from the Soviet Union time. And it seems he wouldn’t mind to add a great deal of detail commenting on each episode in his collection. He’s been through almost all of it by himself!

He accumulated thousands of hours flying the giant Mil-6 helicopter. I bet he must have tons of stories reflecting on that unique type of ‘bush flying, Siberian style’! I’m looking forward to having a great communication with him soon.
