Savasleyka (air base)

19 February 1958 and an emergency landing of a passenger plane Tu-104 (on-board number L5414, one of the first production Tu-104), which carried out a training flight on the route Novosibirsk – Sverdlovsk – Moscow. When approaching Moscow Vnukovo airport, the crew reported a shortage of fuel to complete the flight and requested landing at the Dyagilevo airfield Ryazan Region). In adverse weather conditions, the crew lost its orientation and was unable to reach the Dyagilevo driving radio station. The plane was sent to Savasleyka. With a decrease, the fuel reserves were exhausted, the engines stopped, and the plane made an emergency landing in the forest, not having reached 1.5 kilometers before the end of the Runway. In the future, the aircraft was restored, transferred to Moscow and installed at VDNKh as an exhibit.[4]

In 1973, when performing aerobatic maneuvers in the aerodrome zone, the inspector pilot Colonel Nadtochiev died on MiG-23. There was a destruction of the rotary mechanism of the wing of variable sweep with the subsequent explosion on board. The wing, which fell on the airfield, was torn off, almost killing the officer, who at the last moment had been dragged off by other officers. As the mechanics who observed the flight from the sites, the explosion occurred after several sharp dives into the lane: with a sharp exit from the next dive, the plane sharply jerked and disappeared into the fire cloud of the explosion, from which turbines and large fragments flew. The airfield directly under the crash site, where I ran out of the barracks of the 2nd regiment, was littered with a layer of small smoking debris. In the distance, there were several larger fragments in various places. In the middle of the strip, I remember the flight white helmet, and under it on the concrete – a scattering of blue plastic fragments of light-protective cover and inscription around the Nadtochiev earphone ...

30 September 1991 and the plane crashed MiG-31B under the command of Major Shapovalov S. A. and Pilot-Navigator Lieutenant Colonel M. V. Subbotin, performing a training flight before upcoming display of aviation technology. In violation of the flight mission, the takeoff was made without flaps. After the detachment and transfer of the aircraft to climb at a speed of 390–400 km / h, the pilot did not take into account the increased efficiency stabilizer, "not covered" by flaps, and the usual movement РУС (in terms of pace, magnitude of movement and effort) brought the plane to a supercritical angle of attack 20 °, which led to its stalling. Flight accidents were also aided by the unsatisfactory organization of crew training for a special flight from the command side. As a result, the plane collided with the ground and collapsed. The crew's ejection was carried out by the navigator's decision at an altitude of 120–150 m at a speed of 410–420 km / h. The navigator was unharmed, the commander of the crew died due to lack of height and high speed of descent. The ejection of the navigator took place approximately parallel to the ground. In this case, the plane rotated along the axis of flight. Bailout commander happened head down. The pilot collided at high speed with a thick birch (about 25–30 cm in diameter), which broke in half from a blow, the plane fell 20–30 meters. The navigator, after landing, carried the deceased comrade away from the wreckage.

On 30 October 1991, the second MiG-31 was lost. During the climb at the afterburner there was a fire engine. The pilots ejected. Upon landing, one broke his arm, the other leg. The plane fell, the engines from a strike went deep into the ground, the glider bounced off the ground and exploded.

February 1994. When flying to SMU Su-27UB got into a snow charge, which caused the failure of the flight-navigation equipment. With a line-of-sight distance of no more than 200–300 m and a lower margin of no more than 50–100 m, the pilots were able to find an airfield and land the aircraft with an overhead landing speed. The breakage of the braking parachute and ice caused the aircraft to roll out of the lane. The emergency arresting device that was triggered was pulled out of the attachment points, the plane cone and the landing gear were torn off. The pilots were not injured and not ejected. The crew commander was removed from flight work. After long attempts to restore the aircraft, the Su-27UB (tail number 40) was decommissioned and installed in the aviation museum in the garrison of Savasleigh.
