VAF Political Officer.. Not so fast
"Maybe Comrade Vlad should be appointed as the VAF Political Officer."
Just in. I have become suspisious of they many routes were Vlad flys close to Restrcted Airspace, Security Areas Etc. I recently peeked in his hangar and found this below. Should we be concerned?
Have a safe RV fun filled weekend everyone!!

Has anyone Vlad?idated these stories? They could be just another Vladalent attempt at propaganda. What about all those hours he has purported to have flown in his Richard Vlad?grunsven dash niner, those couldn?t possibly be real? And to think he has done those hours flying by VFR (Vlad Flight Rules), I?m not buying any of it.
Next thing you know, he will be writing a story about flying to Vladmont or NeVlada or some such place.

Jeff, and why is it that you just happened to have a statue of Lenin handy Comrade
Vaughan
Bill, that's funny.
Vlad, yep those boys probably hustled us a little but hearing their stories was worth it.
Small World - I was just contacted/pm by another VAF member. He was at the Cleveland Air Show during the 1991 Friendship Tour and was in the Russian crew of IL-76. He said it was the first stop of the tour. He is in the early stages of building a -10. How's that for VAF family

Hi all,
No, I did not expect to read anything about "Mig 29 Friendship Tour" here... But, yes, it is a very small world for those who fly! It was very heart warming to read a note about that time. Met a lot of good people back then.
I was a flight interpreter on IL-76. Yes, Cleveland was our first stop, then to Mankato, MN and then to Harrisburg, PA. I went to Burke Lakefront again in 2001. The show was stiil great, but Ilyushin and Migs were missing
I don't mean to wander offtopic of the post.. I'm more than sure i will meet many of posters, and Vlad, on the fields!
Yuri

Had lunch with him today, maybe he's a Russian spy trying to bring all his knowledge back to Russia and build planes there!

Teacher Vlad
Great to meet Vlad at KAEG and share green chili  . He taught me to post photos on VAF and he will pay the price. Vlad, remember "No good deed goes unpunished!"
Balloonists will know what is happening below...
