Aeronautics and aviation tourism

Silent soaring over Blue Tops of bright paraplanes, gliders and hang-gliders as well as possible corresponds to spirit of ancient Kimmerii. the gliding Museum is on Klementyev's grief (Uzun-syrt), so important for aeronautics history, what even Hitlerite pilots did not bomb it. Only one mountain in California creates the same conditions for formation of ascending currents of air. Uzun-syrt (the Long ridge - on tatarski) to the sea is turned by crescent breakage in the plan which collects sea breezes in the centre. Well and if the wind from the north, the east or the West it overcoming flat northern slope (which the edges turns both to the east, and to the West), also amplifies. Beginning landscape writer Konstantin Artseulov, the nephew has paid attention to this feature of mountain in the beginning of 19 centuries known feodosijskogo of artist Ayvazovsky. And soon other hobby of Artseulova - the aircraft became the main business of a life, and on a grief gliders of all future great designers (actually, their way to glory began here) were tested: Tupolev, Antonova, Suhova. However, simply I advise to look a museum and to do some flying most - on a glider, the sports plane or a motor-hang-glider. Except sports paraplanes exist also special, with passenger sitting for flights with the skilled instructor.

In vicinities of Feodosiya and in settlement airdrome Kirov pass the international aviation festivals and show with participation of a great number of balloons, sports planes, motor-hang-gliders, gliders, paraplanes and other motor and motorless technics.
