What is Krutitsy airfield? How is he good? We will answer these and other questions in the article. With great love of heaven, pilots, businessmen and other persons interested in flight built this airfield in an open field. Zvyozdochkin Victor (flight director in Krutitsy) remembers what this place looked like in 2010.
Equipment
What was Krutitsa airfield before? Fans of air flights came to the former aircraft chemical work platform in a clean field. Here there were only a curved hangar and the remains of a destroyed strip. The result is a good terminal.
Zvezdochkin moves in his domain exclusively with the help of an electric scooter. Part of the technopark owned by the airfield is hidden by the hangar. There is a patrol and reconnaissance armored vehicle-2, in a different way BRDM-2, which can drive where roads do not exist. In Krutitsy it is operated only for entertainment purposes. Like, in general, all the other equipment that is assembled here for those who know a lot about recharging with adrenaline.
There are also ATVs and buggies with which you can move on, faster and with minimal expenditure of vital energy. For those who do not want to linger on the ground, at the Krutitsa airfield, you can choose the appropriate transport. You can be offered to fly on a bright red Mi-2 helicopter, which is capable of receiving up to ten passengers. In the Yellow Corn, An-2, it can sit down to a dozen souls. The light American aircraft Cessna 172 Skyhawk, SportKruiser and SM-92 T, designed for paratroopers, are a bit more compact.
You can choose a board and go on a tour over the Ryazanshchina in flight weather. You can fly both up (the ceiling of the fleet is 4 km) and along rivers, forests, swamps and villages to the envy of drivers and pedestrians.
Free fall
Do you know that at the Krutitsa airfield you can entertain yourself by free fall? Here you will be thrown out of the aircraft with pleasure - both in tandem and separately - from a height of 4 km and from a lower start - 600 m. The airfield provides safety, but the probable parachutist needs to have suitable clothes and shoes without heels with thick soles that fix the ankle .
Residence
You can live at the Krutitsa (Shilovo) airfield, as there are lovely hotel houses. There is a cafe where customers are deliciously fed. There is free Wi-Fi, and in the center of the hall there is a hearth.
Almost throughout the aerodrome there are signs in the most inexplicable places and with a wide variety of contents. You have the opportunity to meet either a guide to action or a warning, with each inscription causing a smile and respect for the authors.
Aerodrome
Krutitsa's heavenly gates are privately owned, as is the entire fleet. Very soon there will be an opportunity to hold interethnic competitions, since the terminal will expand by 1600 m - the newest runway will appear. There will be more planes in terms of both number, flight height, and size.
Krutitsa terminal is located in the Shilovsky district of the Ryazan region. To get to it, you need to leave Ryazan along the M5 Ural highway towards Chelyabinsk and move up to the 284th km. In the field, just before reaching the turn to Shilovo, you can see the sign - Krutitsy air base. So, here you are.

Tandem
What is a tandem jump with an instructor? It is known that for any person a parachute jump will forever remain one of the most important actions and the most striking effect of all life. The feeling of flying, free fall can not be compared with anything. It is difficult to tell how a person feels during a jump - you have to experience it yourself.
At the Krutitsa airfield, you can perform a jump paired with a mentor from a height of 4000 m. Free fall will last about 40-60 seconds. Preparation takes about 20 minutes: the trainer conducts a briefing for the beginner - tells how to behave properly, being separated from the plane, during the free fall, after and before the opening of the parachute, as well as when landing.
The reduction and soft landing with a parachute of the “wing” type leave an unforgettable experience! Many guests of the airfield are delighted with the control of the dome, because the tandem master gives the novice the opportunity to control the parachute.
Be sure to bring closed comfortable shoes (for example, sneakers). This advice is relevant not only for safety reasons - after all, your shale in the air can simply fly away and get lost!
