A sad loss of yet another spaceflight pioneer from the astronautical community so early in the year. |

Sorry to see another great veteran cosmonaut pass. Had the chance to meet him a couple of times in Moscow over the years. About three years ago they had a big celebration for him at Hovanskaya, with many cosmonauts and aviation pioneers, including unflown Buran pilots Sultanov and Tresvyatsky. It was a grand affair in Russian style and they showed footage of him test-piloting a couple of aeroplanes. Brave stuff no doubt.  |
