Re: Only in Russia
I'm surprised you didnt pop a Russian Reversal in there.
In America, you travel by plane.... in Russia, plane travels by YOU!

Re: Only in Russia
.... and the next moment, the pilot let the clutch out in reverse gear, and voila, the engines were running!
Not only in Russia though... Back in the day, when I worked for deHavilland, I was one of seven people present at the completion of painting of Dash 8 serial number 1 on the Sunday evening. It had somehow been put into the paint hangar in a way that a tug could not get around to hook it up. So it had to be pushed out by hand. Between us, we did it....

Re: Only in Russia
In late 1970 we were parking Mobil Olis DC3 beside another airplane at a lodge in Northern Sask. and we ended up about a foot to short to get the wing past the other airplane, however our passengers all helped push it back far enough to get by the other airplane.
The passengers were the President of Mobil Oil and Anwar Sadat, his body guards and about five women.
They thought it was a great experience.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Here in Canada, CATSA would have insisted on ramp passes

and don't forget your high visibility vest! 
"The ability to ditch an airplane in the Hudson does not qualify a pilot for a pay raise. The ability to get the pilots, with this ability, to work for 30% or 40% pay cuts qualifies those in management for millions in bonuses."

Re: Only in Russia
Back in 1990, I got stuck in about 2 feet of slush while turning a bit wide on skis. The local aboriginals came to help me out. I had one ski-doo tied to each gear leg, 6 people pushing the struts, and me running the engine as fast as I safely could
We got out. Lucky it was only a Cessna 180. The locals were laughing at me a bit

Drinking lots of coffee lately, at a nice safe jungle desk, wishing I were flying......
