Friends! I recently visited the festival #AboutTheFly helicopter sports in Minsk (Belarus). I watched the helicopter racing. Helicopters flew very low and close to each other made dangerous maneuvers. They could encounter.
Helicopter races are held in Belarus for the second year in a row and became the main event of the summer air. In Minsk flew 16 strongest crews from Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Czech Republic and Poland. Including winners of world and European championships.
Sporting battle unfolded in the skies by helicopters MI-2 and Robinson R44 at a height of 5 to 8 meters - so that the audience could see all the details of the battles.
Each team is in the minimum time to scoop up a bucket of water from the barrel, and then carry it through the same bucket gates 11 and set in the middle. And it is at a height of 5 meters! The favorites of the judges are crews that are as well passed the gate and left in a bucket of water as much as possible.
Places on the podium as follows:
1. Yury Yablokov, Konstantin Podoynitsyn (Russia);
2. Nikita Laptev, Vladislav Course (Belarus);
3. Andrei Orekhov, Vadim Sazonov (Russia).
The winner:
