This is a fantastic read. I've got my bowl of popcorn patiently waiting for next installment.

I believe we know why there's a "placeholder" for the next installment.

Non Russian Speaking
How hard would it be for a non Russian speaker (english only) to do the same visit? Do many speak english or none at all, other than controllers?

Don,
If you are thinking what I am thinking then it's not. There was no night at the Museum. We both cared about reputation of our countries.

Steve it's surely possible. Not hard at all as I see it. Young generation of Russians can communicate in English clearly. The older folks, well, they are kind of like Russian Jews on Brighton Beach of Brooklyn - "we are here for 40 years and Americans still don't speak Russian?!.."
This particular destination (Anadyr) is off mainstream tourist track and requires a bit of coordination. If it's just a check off the bucket list I would recommend to shoot farther to Magadan or ever Khabarovsk. Larger cities with a lot of things to see and explore and no need for special permit in addition to the visa. If you are truly interested in the history and learn at least couple phrases in Russian out of respect you would be treated royally everywhere. Good people there, educated and very friendly.

I actually did Tom. There was a Russian love story and Cars3. I was planning to go but time was in short supply.

New Horizons
Vlad,
Now that you are our master trail blazer going west, Mark for flying back and forth to Europe and Rosie and crew for the Caribbean. All that is required is a little patience and planning, and a few dollars more. But we can just about go anywhere with standard fuel tanks in our "Experimental Aircraft".
Thanks to all for allowing me to live vicariously thru your travels and escapades.

Hello Vlad!
What a wonderful trip!
I remember Anadyr runway and how I flew over Nome in 1991! Although the best memory of Anadyr is the most delicious blackberries which I could eat anywhere, just drop on your knees and scoop them.

My great grand father knew Colonel Mazuruk. :-)
Oh, and we sometimes make stroganina here in South Carolina when I get a very fresh fish. :-)
Hey. lots of tail winds!

Great reading Vlad!
Definately "off the beaten path".
What did they think about you flying your little homebuilt all the way from New Jersey?
I'm looking forward to the finale "Vlad, Back in the USA"

Just amazing!
Thanks for telling your story, it's the highlight of my day!
Just amazing that you do this VFR. It inspires me to go a little outside my own comfort zone, even if its just a 100 mile cross-country flight.
Thanks again!
Jeff
