Scotto's Moscow Adventure
Its not every day you can visit the formerly "Top Secret" Zukovskiy Air base and Yuri Gagarin Star City Cosmonaut Training Centre in Russia so when the opportunity arose, I jumped at it.
The trip included a simulated Soyuz Rocket launch into orbit in the Centrifuge, 2 flights in an L29 "Albatross" and a flight in the Mig 29 "Fulcrum" to its maximum ceiling of 60,000 feet at twice the speed of sound.
What an amazing experience!
This site is a collection of pictures and descriptions from the trip.
