The short story before you take a look at these photos. Several years ago a friend of mine asked me if I want to take a secret flight with his frend — military pilot — above Moscow Red Square during the Parade of 9th in May. To say I was happy means to say nothing. All flights above Moscow are strongly prohibited, nobody has a chance to fly like that. And here I have a possibility not only to take a look at Moscow from above but for the first time in my life to fly in helicopter, and even not any regular — military! I only asked my friend to where and when exactly I should arrive.
This remarkable flight took place 3-4 years ago. After we landed I was asked not to tell about this at least for over a year, actually to say the truth all this was a bit outlaw ;). But pilots often takes theirs families and friends to Parade flights, so you know...
Now it's time to watch the photos. Have a nice time!

Very, very close! Only best pilots are clear to fly over The Parade.
