I've done a little bit of flying there some years ago while on an aviation-related biz trip. Don't think you can go on your own, though, and also doubt it would be advisable (language, airspace). There is a little GA field near Kiev which is mainly a parachuting and microlight base, it's from there I flew. Alas, can't remember the name, but IIRC it is about half way on the way to Gostomel airport (home base of Antonov, about 60-70 kms out of town). If you're there long enough, you should be able to find the place, once there, the local pilots are extremely friendly and only too pleased to take you up ! Great guys, I got to fly an AN2 and a Wilga, followed by some pretty wild rides in microlights
