    13/08/12 - Sheremetyevo - Pulkovo - Kummolovo - Gostilitsy

    Today we flew to St.Petersburg on Aeroflot A320 VQ-BAZ. We were supposed to have visits to the SPARC helicopter overhaul facility and Pushkin airbase but both were cancelled a few days before because "a local military official was refused a visa to attend the Farnborough airshow so is playing tit-for-tat" ! Instead we visited two local light fields and spent the second day at the main airport.

    Gostilitsy - a relatively new GA airfield, we waited a while for our guide from ATC to become available, but soon after the tour started he became agitated at our antics and terminated the visit before we had time to see everything. We missed a ramp and several hangars.
