I was born in 1959 in Moscow, Russia. My grandfather and my father were pilots but I didn\'t fly until June 2007. I was 48 yo and became a student-pilot that summer. Got my Russian PPL(H) in July 2008, got my JAA PPL(H) (issued by CAA UK) in October 2008. Fly my own Robinson R44 Raven1.I have flown in South Africa, the US (including Hawaii), Europe but most time I fly in Russia of course.I try to fly every day to improve my skills. In 2009 I have 308 flight hours and total time in August 2010 is 800 hrs.Some pictures you can see in facebook - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000471255204
