He's a great guy and definitely great for us, but the cyclic pitch movements, didn't match the flight. He is not a pilot, so what is the need to pretend. He can play with a simulator like anyone else, he started to get the hang in the end. Just be a great president! That is all we ask!

All well and good - I'm glad he is taking an interest in the Russian aviation industry but I fear it is too late, What has any post-Soviet government done for their civil aviation industry? Nothing! Every airline is busy buying American or European airliners! The great design teams at Ilyushin, Tupolev and Yakovlev are all gone....nothing is replacing their ageing models. Does anyone in the Russian government care? Nope! Oh, sorry yes, there is the tiny SSJ. Big deal. It is really just too sad and too shocking to think about.

Fake flying. His cockpit body movements do not match the flight behavior of the chopper.
