Restoration
Activities of «The Russian Aviation Co. Ltd.» accords a high degree of priority to recreating a collection of flightworthy aircraft dating back to World War II. The work of searching for missing aircraft and their fragments in uninhabited and almost inaccessible regions of
«RUSAVIA» has taken part in the restoration of the aircraft «I15 bis», being displayed at «Hydroaviation Air Shows2002», as well as the aircraft «DIT», exhibited together with «I15 bis» at the International Aviation & Aerospace Air Shows «MAKS-2003» in Zhukovsky.
A group of the «RUSAVIA's» specialists completely restored two front aircraft «Po2». The third aircraft was partially restored.
On 29 July 2004, the legendary night bomber «Po2» was handed over by «The Russian Aviation Co. Ltd.» without compensation to the Technical Museum of the town of Koshitse on the request of Mr. Shuster, the former President of the Republic of Slovakia. The «MiG3» fighter represents the most interest for its restoration to a flightworthy condition. The reason for the work lies not only in the aircraft belonging to the worldwide well known «MiG» trade mark, but also in high flying performances, excellent external outlines and rich combat history. The aircraft has become one of the wellknown soviet fighters of the Second World War.
«RUSAVIA» has plans, not only to restore the fighter, but to return the aircraft to the fleet of flying aircraft.
The restoration of the legendary aircraft is indeed deserved and respected work, promoting consolidation and strengthening the spirit of the Nation.
