Training and Sports Aircraft (1x15)

Air date: Jan 09, 2011

A small and light airplane. A topic seemed unworthy of an interesting story. What is there to say? It is not a powerful bomber, nor a fast and streamlined fighter nor a respectable airliner.

Ask anyone and they will reverently remember their first obedient, faithful, forgiving all mistakes machine… The seeming simplicity of its creation is deceptive. Throughout more than a hundred years history of aviation, thousands of people tried to resolve this problem. But only some machines became a legend.
