Just as we could read
Russia Liberalizes Airspace , I happened across a place suspiciously reminiscent of a G/A airfield, only it is deep in the Russian heartland:
Chelyabinsk, Province of Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation - Google Maps just SSE of Chelyabinsk has it all, to judge from the associated photography.
Would we really be able to organise a VFR trip to St Petersburg anywhere soon? Will there really be English-speaking staff handling their frequencies?
