Time for takeoff. Vasili exclamation said:
- Come on! With God!»
- "Let's go!"- Sergey answered...
Basil pulled the thrust lever, put a note on the maximum. According to him, the Domodedovo strip of 3 kilometers is quite enough for this aircraft. Acceleration of the aircraft on the band 14R / 32L began and Sergei reported on the speed of the aircraft:
- "So, 100 km/h, 200 km/h, 350 km/h..." - said Sergey...
We can take off!"- Vasily approved.
With these words Basil smoothly pulled the wheel smoothly for yourself. The plane began to break away from the ground and Basil said with a smile:
- Come off!!!»
- Yay!"- With pleasure said Sergey Vasily...
Vasily removed the chassis, and Sergey removed the flaps.
The plane began to rise to a height of 2000 meters, 3000 meters, 5000 meters and then took the position of 8 kilometers (8000 meters). Boeing took his corridor and Vasily said: "Thank you, dispatchers!»
The clock was about 18: 15 and the plane was 70 km away from the"Domodedovo Airport". Vasily told the flight attendants and heard in the cabin:
- "Ladies and gentlemen! Our plane gained altitude and reached the required speed. You can move freely around the cabin and unfasten your seat belts. But we recommend you not to leave your seats unless absolutely necessary. Now you will be offered a hot dinner and soft drinks! Enjoy your flight!"- said the flight attendants...
With these words in the cabin and in the cockpit silence began and all quietly enjoyed the flight...
Chapter №4 " on the plane»
Flight attendant Alexander went to the zone at the entrance to the plane and hung the curtain. He began to warm up dishes for dinner for passengers. Stewardess Maria and Stuart Valentine put bottles of drinks in the cart and calmly began to go with the cart to the salon and distribute food to passengers, specifying their choice:
- What would you like?"- Valentin asked.
- "One glass of tea and two glasses of tomato juice!"the passenger replied to Valentina.
- «Nicely. Here you go!»
- Thanks!»
So it's been 15 minutes and they all had drinks. Maria and Valentine returned the cart to Alexander and began to distribute a hot dinner to the passengers of the plane...
Passengers began to rest. After 20 minutes, was to begin the decline...
In the cabin everything was quiet, as the plane was good. The pilots communicated and enjoyed the evening...
"Unexpected troubles»
The entire cabin fell asleep and the situation was calm. Suddenly in the cabin I heard a pop! Alexander told urgently Vasily and Sergey. Vasily ordered to look out the window. This cotton was the fire of one of the engines. From what people have already managed to lie down to sleep. Then the "happy accident", no one noticed. But the incident Vasily prevented, he just clicked on the button "Fire". The fire was successfully localized. Of the live engines was only one.
The speed dropped from 800 km/h to 500 km/h. he decided to announce to the crew on landing in Kaliningrad. Flight attendants told passengers: "Please fasten your seat belts. Open the window blinds and straighten the chair back. Our plane is starting to descend!"- announced by the flight attendants. Of course their passengers listened and they were very lucky that they did not hear the cotton and slept at this time...
Such situations on Board the aircraft are not uncommon. A fire engine can occur because of birds or of the stranger item caught in the engine. In such situations, it is necessary to coordinate the work of the crew of the aircraft, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to get out of this... But in this situation, one thing calmed that Vasily and Sergei have repeatedly faced similar emergency situations and they knew what to do with it.
In connection with the fire engine Basil reduced traction to "hold out" to Kaliningrad:
- "So, then, reduce cravings, avoid the second fire!»
- "Got it!"Sergey replied.
The aircraft was in a less stable condition. And kept the height even.
By decree of Vasily, flight attendants reported a decrease in the aircraft and landing. The passengers fastened their seat belts and took their seats.
But again the problem is not over: the plane was in turbulent flows. And of those threads need to get out at a higher speed. But it was about 480 km / h.the Plane sank 30 meters and the passengers felt it a little, someone screamed a little, but this is also normal in such cases... on the other hand, the pilots of the aircraft are not here and the weather situation is also not expected. But soon the flight attendants apologized and explained the information about the turbulence. No one protested and everyone is aware that it is not always get some. Vasily prevented the problem and brought the plane out of the turbulent flows with effort ... Vasily and Sergey received an adrenaline rush and had to work very hard to avoid deterioration..

Chapter 6 " Successful landing"
Vasily returned the plane to its original position. The plane continued to decline and flight attendants again reminded of the decline of the aircraft. Vasily said:
- "Serge, what's our altitude?»
- "Vasya, 6000 meters!»
- «Understood. We go down to 4000 meters and I send a request to land in Khrabrovo!»
- "You got it!"- Sergey answered Vasily.
Vasily sent a request to Kaliningrad dispatchers:
- "Kaliningrad, welcome! The Boeing "triple seven" from Moscow requesting landing at Khrabrovo on the strip. Permission to land?
- "Welcome" three sevens, " landing on runway 06/24. Good luck!»
Since the request for landing was approved, Vasily continued to decline to 2000 meters. The airport was about 5 kilometers away. Vasily pressed the landing gear and reduced the speed to 330 km/h. Sergei moved the flaps in position 4. Basil much took over the steering wheel and slowly sank to the strip direction. Basil came closer and the plane touched the runway and landed. The passengers cheered, and Vasily turned on the reverse and braking of the aircraft was successful. Flight attendants announced:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Our plane successfully landed at the airport Khrabrovo! Thank you for your flight with us. And we, in turn, will be glad to meet you again! On behalf of the airline "Russia" thank you for choosing us as a carrier!»
In the cockpit in the meantime:
- Dispatch, exit number?"- asked Vasily.
- "Parking sector B6" - said the Manager of the airport Khrabrovo.
- "Go!"- said the Manager of Basil.
The plane gradually rolled to the Parking sector and then people began to collect things out of the plane was soon opened and people on the ramp out of the plane, heading to the buses, they sincerely thanked the crew of the liner for the flight:
"Thank you for the flight!» - passengers
"Thank you very much too!» - stewards.
The pilots turned off the engines and electrics of the aircraft. After 15 minutes, Vasily and Sergey, along with Alexander, Michael, Valentine and Maria got off the plane and went through the service exit from Khrabrovo airport to the street... a Special transport arrived and the crew went to the hotel in Kaliningrad... the Pilots called the family and said that they were all okay, without mentioning about the incident, because their work is unpredictable and why are simply to disturb the relatives and to force them to survive...
On arrival Vasily and Sergey thanked each other for the flight and together, looking at the sky, they remembered that soon after 2 days the plane will be repaired and soon they will rise again in this beautiful blue night and orange evening vast expanse of the heavenly surface....
