Ice Station Scenery Package
Part II of ‘Russian Skies Series’–Scenery and Flights: Numbers: 1079, 1086, 1083, 1086, 1090, 1072, 1103, 1084, 1086, 1085, 1077, 1090, 1072( Gold Coin)). Gold Coin Air Station was built in 1964 and since then it has become a ‘Cold Weather Survival School’ for the Russian Navy. Once a year other Navies are invited to the ‘Gold Coin two weeks Special Super Cold survival training’. This year the British, Greek and American Navy have agreed to participate. The Gold Coin Station is located almost at the North Pole and has to be provided by sea and air the needed supplies every three months. The flight usually leaves from KRASNOYARK__ stopping at_ALYKEL____ for special anti-frost boots which wear out very fast. On this flight a another stop will be made at the hometown of Admiral Georgeol Kraprinsky in _SAKLIN___ (New Landclass, airfield and scenery here) since he has to return after a three week vacation with Avna, his wife. There is a complication: The American C-130 participating is lost in some mountains and a SAR operation has been mounted and the weather station called ‘North Star’ must be re-supplied since they ran out of gas. Pilots participating in this scenery and flights should have some experienced flying in very cold weather. Do take your yellow socks for luck if you go to the meeting.
