What is the Krutitsa airfield? Why is he good? We will answer these and other questions in the article. With great love for the sky, pilots, entrepreneurs and other persons interested in flying built this airfield in an open field. Zvezdochkin Viktor (flight director in Krutitsy) remembers what this place looked like in 2010.
Technique
What was the Krutitsa airfield before? Fans of air flights came to the former platform of aerial chemical works in an open field. Here there were only a crooked hangar and the remains of a destroyed strip. The result is a good terminal.
Zvezdochkin moves around his property exclusively with the help of an electric scooter. Part of the technopark owned by the airfield is hidden by a hangar. There is a patrol and reconnaissance armored vehicle-2, in a different way BRDM-2, which can drive where there are no roads. In Krutitsy, it is used only for entertainment purposes. As, in general, and all other equipment that is collected here for those who know a lot about recharging adrenaline.
There are also ATVs andbuggies, with which you can move further, faster and with minimal expenditure of vital energy. For those who do not want to linger on the ground, you can choose the appropriate transport at the Krutitsy airfield. You may be offered to fly on a bright red Mi-2 helicopter, which can take up to ten passengers. Up to a dozen souls can sit in the yellow "Kukuruznik" - An-2. Light American aircraft "Cessna 172 Skyhawk", "Sport Cruiser" and SM-92 T, designed for paratroopers, is a little more compact.
You can choose a board and go on a tour over the Ryazan region in flying 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 Krutitsy airfield you can entertain yourself with the free fall method? Here you will be happy to be thrown out of the plane - both in tandem and singly - from a height of 4 km and from a lower start - 600 m. The airfield provides safety, but a probable skydiver needs to have suitable clothes and shoes without heels with thick soles, fixing the ankle.
Stay
You can live at the Krutitsy (Shilovo) airfield, as there are nice hotel houses here. There is a cafe where customers are served delicious food. There is free Wi-Fi, and there is a hearth in the center of the hall.
Almost throughout the airfield there are signs in the most unexpected places and with the most diverse content. You have the opportunitymeet either a guide to action or a warning, while each inscription causes a smile and respect for the authors.
Airfield
The Heavenly Gate of Krutitsa is a private property, like the entire fleet. Very soon it will be possible to hold international competitions here, as the terminal will expand by 1600 m - a new runway will appear. There will be more aircraft both in number, and in flight altitude, and in size.
The Krutitsy 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 to the 284th km. In the field, a little before reaching the turn to Shilovo, you can see a sign - the Krutitsy airbase. So here you are.

Tandem
What is a tandem jump with an instructor? It is known that for any person skydiving forever remains one of the most important acts and the most striking effect of a lifetime. The feeling of flying, free fall cannot be compared with anything. It is difficult to tell what a person feels during the jump - you have to experience it yourself.
At the Krutitsa airfield, you can perform a jump together with a mentor from a height of 4000 m. Free fall will last about 40-60 seconds. Preparation takes about 20 minutes: the coach gives a briefing for the beginner - tells how to behave properly, separating from the aircraft, during free fall, after and before opening the parachute, as well as upon landing.
Descent and soft landing with a wing-type parachute leave an unforgettable experience! Many guests of the airfield are delighted with the control of the canopy, because the tandem master allows the beginner to control the parachute.
Be sure to bring closed comfortable shoes (for example, sneakers). This advice is relevant not only for safety purposes - after all, your shales in the air can simply fly away and get lost!
