It’s already cold in Volgograd in November, so I wanted to go back closer to summer. I started looking for work on the Internet using the following queries: seasonal work in the south in winter. I found an article about picking tangerines in Abkhazia. The work promised to be unpaid, but tasty. You can eat tangerines for the year ahead and stock up on vitamins. Found it in contact

Kyrgyzstan

In eastern Kazakhstan, just before the border with Kyrgyzstan, there are stunning landscapes, meadows, rivers and mountains in the distance. The places are worth taking a walk here and admiring the nature. The Karkyra border post is the most deserted on my trip. Here I saw only 3 people crossing the border. Two of them drove me to Kyrgyzstan. And in reverse direction tried to pass

Kazakhstan

You can only cross the Russian-Kazakh border “Karauzek” by car. They won’t let you through on foot, and the distance between our and the Kazakh posts is 10 km, it’s a bit far to walk. Cars wait at customs for about half an hour to 3 hours, according to travelers. If you are on foot, you need to find a car willing to give you a ride. So I did -

Hitchhiking in the Volgograd and Astrakhan regions

My main goal of this trip was to visit the Charyn Canyon in Kazakhstan. On the Internet, I accidentally saw a picture of this canyon with the caption: Did you think this was the Grand Canyon in the USA? And this is actually Kazakhstan! I decided to definitely see this beauty with my own eyes. With the money I earned in Karelia in the summer I bought a tent, a sleeping bag,

Summer 2018 in Karelia on rafting

The summer of 2018 in Karelia turned out to be warm. They even note here that we only have summer once every three years. 2016 was rainy, 2017 was cold, and 2018 was dry and hot. This has its pros and cons. The rivers have become shallow, and you can go around them on catamarans and kayaks

Work as a water tourism instructor in the Urals

It's been a while since I wrote anything, a long time ago. And it’s not surprising, because who would be interested in watching me hang on a cable while working as an elevator installer? But that was in February and March. In April and May, I found a “more interesting” job, but in the wilderness, where the Internet is so fast, as if I had returned to the days of dialup Internet

Altai Republic

In the fall, I don’t want to sit at home and watch out the window as people jump over puddles, so I decided to go to a place where it’s frosty all winter, and, as usual, away from my native land, to see our vast homeland. I had two options: go to Kaliningrad or Altai. With Kaliningrad

Kizhi Island. June 2017

In the summer of 2017, I had the opportunity to visit Kizhi Island. But not for free, as I usually like. I had to pay 7,000 rubles myself for 4 days. But considering that this amount included food, accommodation and travel to the island, it is not so expensive. As you probably know, I work in the summer

First time in Crimea

In 2014, I already had thoughts of visiting Crimea. Then I earned 1,500 rubles a day on my sites. And this money would be enough for me to travel around the peninsula, if not by car, then by bicycle with a tent. But search engine algorithms have changed, income from my sites has fallen and

Man has wanted to learn to soar like a bird since the days of ancient civilization. His perseverance and pursuit of his dream gave the world the opportunity to fly in the sky with the help of huge steel machines. Airplanes are one of the best human creations. They are beautiful, majestic, eye-catching mysterious looking.

Even today, thousands of years after their creation, there are still many unknown and attractive things hidden in airplanes. And their flight is simply a mesmerizing sight. Many can watch him for hours. But standing on the ground we will never be able to see all its beauty. But thanks to high-quality photographs, you can learn a lot of interesting little things about how amazing and luxurious an airliner is rushing into the distance.

Where else, if not in pictures with planes soaring high in the sky, can we get a closer look at their beauty and grandeur? After all, from earth we will never fully understand the mystery of this wonderful human creation.

Hearing the noise of an airliner and looking up, we notice only a small point leaving behind a white air trail. And the photographs give us an excellent opportunity to observe in all the smallest detail the ease and ease of the flight of any airliner. They capture moments that a simple observer is unlikely to ever see. Every moment captured in a photo is unique and unrepeatable.

For those who are interested in airplanes, consider them their hobby or even perhaps their passion, this page will be just right for you. Connoisseurs of beautiful photos will also find a lot of interesting things here, because the image of liners soaring in the skies is real art. And those who simply love beauty experience positive emotions from impressive pictures and has a thirst for learning everything new, they will definitely stay in this topic.

We present unusual and only high-quality aircraft photographs. They very clearly and realistically convey all the subtleties of the flight of this huge machine. Downloading and installing them as a theme or wallpaper is an easy task and feasible even for children. But choosing just one photo from the whole variety is much more difficult.

You don't know what looks more impressive:

photo of the liner between the sky and the ocean;
pictures of an airplane in the wool of snow-white clouds, crashing into them or rising higher;
an iron bird cutting through the night starry space;
an image of a steel car speeding into the distance during sunset or dawn, with millions of different color shades.

Each picture is beautiful in its own way, revealing from different sides the magnificence of an airplane flying against the background of a day or night, sunny or cloudy, azure or overcast sky. All the colors of the rainbow were reflected in the photographs - azure, crimson, foggy gray, innocent white, dark night and bright sunny. An airplane in the sky is associated with freedom, lightness, limitlessness and victory. After all, he conquered the heavens.

Despite the large dimensions of the aircraft, you can’t help but compare it to a bird in the clouds; it also looks harmonious and magnificent in the sky. The soul is filled with pride and joy from the fact that this was created by human hands.

Photos of airplanes in the endless skies make sure that people can do a lot, because they were able to make their desire to fly come true! Such pictures are great motivation and help you believe in yourself. Look at these wonderful photos and know: we can do everything, the main thing is to want it!

And the event took place a week before it began.

The Irkut company invited me to take part in an aerial photo shoot of two aircraft preparing to perform at the air show - the Yak-130 in a new red retro livery and the Su-30SM - a modernized Sushka for the Russian Air Force. The story is about how cameraman Pavel Novikov and I filmed them from the ramp of the An-12 plane.

A ramp in aviation is a device designed to load and unload an aircraft. It is a mechanized hatch in the nose or tail of the fuselage, capable of descending onto the apron surface:

For those who have never seen the military transport An-12, I’ll show you. Highlighted in red is the ramp, which opens for landing or, as in our case, for photographing the trail of a flying aircraft:

To access on-board footage transport aircraft, you need to pass a medical flight expert commission (VLEK) and have a life insurance policy. For a videographer, the requirements are not as stringent as, for example, for a flight attendant or flight engineer. Not to mention the pilots.

I have limited vision (that is, I can only take pictures from transport aircraft and helicopters), and Pashka is generally handsome - he can take pictures from fighter jets! What he has been doing successfully for several years now. He started in the MiG company, flew with the Russian Knights on the Su-27, participated in the filming of various films - feature films and documentaries, and even flew on the MiG-25. He studied at VGIK on the course of Vadim Yusov, and now works with the Zvezda TV channel.

No one will just allow you to stand by an open ramp. A net and belts were tightly stretched around its perimeter, and a beam was tightly screwed to the floor to support the legs. The operator is wearing special climbing equipment, to which is attached a safety harness screwed into the floor. Moreover, the amount of insurance is calculated strictly for such a distance as not to fall outside the net:

I sling my two cameras (second and third Marks) with lenses 24-70/2.8 and 70-200/2.8 with long straps over my neck. Practice has shown that 70-200 was most often used. One 28-300 lens would be ideal here, but I don’t have one.

Pashka is looking forward to it. By the way, you need to dress warmly. At an altitude of 100-1500 meters, the temperature is ten degrees lower than on the ground. For example, a leather pilot jacket made of thick leather is perfect! I also personally got hold of a paratrooper’s cap somewhere:

After gaining the required height, they give us a sign that it’s time and we run to fasten ourselves to the ramp, which is closed for now. The operator is wearing a headset for communicating with An-12 pilots, but with the noise of the engines it is almost useless.

And now, when we are standing strapped in with cameras at the ready, the ramp is opened! There is a little dust flying, I expected more debris and wind. A minute or two later, the first participant in the Yak-130 photo shoot appears:

The aircraft is flown by Honored Test Pilot of the Russian Federation, Hero of the Russian Federation Roman Taskaev and Test Navigator 1st Class Sergei Kudryashov:

On the ground, at the pre-flight briefing before filming, we discussed its conditions. Altitude, speed, distance of the “model” from the operators, maneuvering and aerobatic maneuvers that must be captured. Height - 1000-1500 meters, the closest distance of approaching the subject to the ramp is 25 m, at a descent 10-15 m.

And it’s not necessary to go higher, because the object will fall into the wake from the An-12 engines, and in this mode you can’t fly, and the picture will be blurred.

We didn’t have a choice of shooting time, and ideally, air-to-air should be carried out at dawn and sunset, and preferably somewhere in the mountain area.

The route ran from Zhukovsky to Yegoryevsk and back.

And this is above some lakes (I’m looking, looking on the map, but I can’t find it). In general, my favorite pastime is looking at and recognizing places taken from an airplane. But the track was not registered here.

For the first few minutes, the Yak-130 moved smoothly, and then it began to move. To make the picture more dynamic, Pashka asked the pilots to swing and make several rolls and moves in different directions.

The plane, after maneuvering directly below us, quickly leaves the frame:

"Barrel". And rrraz!

And three! The 22-minute shooting of the Yak-130 is completed.

The Yak-130 has been photographed, the ramp is closing and you can take a nap while waiting for the next “model”, which will take off from the Ramenskoye airfield at that very moment. The communication said that the Su-30SM would appear in a few minutes.

At first we couldn’t see the Su-30SM blending into the terrain, but when we noticed it. Averyanov Vyacheslav Yurievich - test pilot at the flight test and development base of the Sukhoi Design Bureau. The co-pilot is his son Evgeniy:

General view from the An-12 ramp:

The plane is so close that you can meet the eyes of the pilots. We on the ramp behind the net are not illuminated in any way and they don’t see us. To enhance the effect, a brake flap is available:

The multi-role super-maneuverable fighter Su-30SM is further development family of combat aircraft such as Su-30MKI:

Contracts for the supply of 60 Su-30SM in the period until 2016 were concluded between the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and OJSC Irkut Corporation in 2012.
