I really always had the desire to try myself, test, fly at an extremely low altitude ... Because the aerobatics was carried out at a height of at least meters, and only the spit of flight is felt only by the ground. Fedotov also understood that some instructions sometimes simply interfere, sought to leave them, but then there was no crazy passion for aerobatics.

It was demonstrated mainly only to the arrival authorities, and the most combined pilots were mostly engaged in it. And here the approach should be unequivocal: only military pilots should be engaged in piloting combat vehicles, because we prepare the material part for them, and not for ourselves. In the year, the pilot installed four of which three and second pilots of the global aviation range of range and speed for Yak after leaving the test work in the year, for 11 years he worked as an engineer in the AKB flight test complex named after A.
