International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS 2009 opened today. Visitors watched magnificent performance in the sky… But today I want to show you what they did not watch: The aerobatic group Russian Knights whose commander colonel Igor Tkachenko was killed 16th of August when two Su-27 fighters collided during a training flight before the opening of the MAKS 2009 Air Show.
Today we are watching a video In Memory of Igor Tkachenko:
We will remember you, Igor!
Russian Video from Russia

comments always welcome.
He lived a Hero, he died a Hero. Far better than lesser mortals (like me, perhaps) who gaze skyward in awe but never get to touch it.
May Igor’s soul rest in eternal peace.
