Back then there was definitely no AVGAS in Ukraine and unlike your Yak18T it won't take MOGAS as it is fuel injected.
The Yak18T's engine does take MOGAS, but I'm very careful with that since there's a chance of Ethanol content which could cause trouble (especially in summer). The way I'm planning it I shouldn't need to take fuel in Ukraine since it's just a 200km roundtrip from the Romanian border.


Once again, I fear that might have been the very first single engine piston flight into UKFF because when we landed they gave us a mini-bus for the crew and a bus for the passengers.
Yes, I think they're still not used to that.

I think VFR might be a problem because the Ukrainians are simply do not know how to handle it.
Yes probably all along LOW level waypoints, Navaids...

Thanks a lot for your help!

Cheers,
