Dear Samolet and Vertolet fans

I will be spending one week with two friends in Kiev in June. I am trying to organize flights in a Yak 52. There is an aero club at Kiev-Chaika that does such pleasure flights, but I am unable to get any response from this link :

Does anyone have advice how I can best organize this ?

Hello.
I see, you continue to travel. It is remembered you wrote the report on travel to Russia, about a museum in Monino, and to other countries. (if not I am mistaken, it were you )
On this reference I can not make comments, but with impatience I shall wait your story about this trip. Last your stories (especially about Russia ) pleased me.

Thank you for your kind comments !

This time we are heading for the aviation museum at Kiev-Zhulyany :

My friends and I are particularly interested in seeing Kiev as it is not such a tourist magnet as Moscow. For the 2004 Moscow trip we learned how to read the cyrillic letters, which helped a lot, but Ukrainian seems to be harder for us to read than Russian (like the museum website which only seems to be in Ukranian).

If we get no further with information on the Yak-52 flights at Kiev-Chaika, we will just go out there and see what we can arrange. I do not smoke any more, but I have been advised to take some packets of cigarettes with me as this may help to solve some unsolvable problems ! ;)

I have this picture as my screen saver to motivate me :
