Be-200ChS is getting its ‘feet wet’ rolling down the sloped ramp at the Beriev test base, which is a venue site for the Gelendjik ‘Hydro Aviation Salon’. It is a 2006 picture, but we are looking forward to seeing images from this year’s airshow at the Black Sea. Read the rest of this entry »
Gelendjik ‘Hydro-Aviation Salon‘ is to open on September, 4. We haven’t proceeded with our plans to go and visit the event this year.
