The reason for this decision was the participation of 2 members of the Group on June 27, 2002 in the Sknilovsk aircraft crash.

1. History

The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a group arose in 1992, when demonstration solo flights of Ukrainian crews were held on two Fighters MiG-29 9-13 (Serial No. 2960707542), MiG-29Un (Serial No. 50903030678) C will be 114 BTA in the cities of Canada. Viktor Rossoshansky was one of the participants of the aviation tour of the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Canada and the United States in 1992.

The pilotat consists of performances by the pilot groups of the US Air Force "Thunder Birds" on the F-16 aircraft and Navy "Blue Angels" on F / A-18A, F / A-18B aircraft. From the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a pilot group in the Ukrainian Air Force, a lot of time has passed. Then the question arose about the place of her deployment: Mirgorod (the location of the dislocation is not famous for its large-known SU-27 and SU-27UB - 831 BTA) or Kirovsky. The decision to establish a pilot group "Ukrainian falcons" in Kirovsky, on the basis of the Flight Testing Complex of the State Aviation Scientific and Test Center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine adopted in the fall of 1995

In the first stage of the pilot-pilot group "Ukrainian falcons" included test pilots: Victor Rossoshansky, Sergey Dudkin, Pavel Korolev, Sergey Kovalev, Vladimir Toponaryar, Edward Sotnikov, each of them had a solid raid and a dozen mastered type of aircraft. According to economists, each of them "cost" at least $ 5 million, it was in this amount that the preparation of one test pilot was statistically assessed. Colonel Viktor Rossoshansky was appointed commander of the group, who was among the pilots the oldest and had the greatest experience - almost 2.5 thousand hours (in other words, 4 months of his life spent in the air), mastered more than 40 types of various aircraft, one of the first (In the list of groups of prepared, as № 54) "taught" to sit on the deck of the aircraft carrier and take off the Su-27K ship fighters from it (now Su-33).

1996 The pilot group began the first workouts on L-39C training aircraft. In the early summer of 1996, Sokol moved to MiG-29 9-13 and MiG-29Ud and began training flights on combat aircraft. In the summer of 1996, in the process of working out a pilot "Barrel" in the air, a collision in the air of the colonel aircraft Pavel Queen and Sergey Dudkin and Viktor Rossoshansky (it was the MiG-29Un (serial No. 509030,30678) C will be 114 BTA, flying to Canada), in one The cars were damaged by the wing, and the second - keel. Mastery and exposure of pilots allowed to land both aircraft.

May 9, 1997 Ukrainian falcons performed the protrusion over the "Seagull" airfield in Kiev. At that time, there were only 5 other groups in the world who spent on combat aircraft - "Thunderstorm Birds" and "Blue Angels" (USA), Russian Vityazhi, Strey (Russia), Heavenly Hussars (Russia). The remaining pilot groups performed on educational and combat aircraft.

In July 1997, the Group took part in the largest military air show Air Tatto on the basis of FefiFord.

At the end of 1998, during the next workout, the weather was sharply worsened, which is characteristic of the Crimea, and during landing suffered a plane crash, piloted by Colonel Sergey Dudkin, who died (crashed MiG-29 9-13 No. 107).

2. Sknilovskaya tragedy
