The research pilot center (until 1996: pilot group “Test Pilots”) was founded by A.N. Kvochura in 1992 at LII of M.M. Gromov to carry out research programmes on the design of cabins and control units over maneuvering aircrafts, satellite radio navigation, over extra refueling in the air, extra long-distance non-stop flights, extra-maneuverability operations, for medical purposes, as well as for the purpose of performance of demonstrative flights of the Su-27, Su-30 and MiG- 29 planes to be done individually or in a group.

The name “Test Pilots” has always been and still is a distinction mark of the Research Pilot center, a feature of its high class. The goal of the center is: the demonstration by the LII pilots of their achievements and the promising projects of the Russian aviation industry. The commander of the group is Anatoliy Kvochur.

Dear Friends!
I sincerely welcome you on the project “Exposition of MVK achievements in the stratosphere — Still higher, and higher, and higher!" I have always admired the exploit of the great soviet pilot Valery Chkalov and I was dreaming to follow his heroic route once again.

I am very grateful to MVK exposition holding for carrying out my dream. This is a unique company, conscious of its social responsibility and ready to share its wealth with people to give them fun and a chance to rejoice. I hope that the example of MVK holding will inspire the owners of other companies and that the idea of charity projects in Russia will be reanimated.

Nowadays, when the Russian public is in active search of a national idea capable to unite all the citizens of this immense country, it is important to appeal to history, to the events that we can be proud of. The non- stop flight by Chkalov —this is one of such events that has a full patriotic impact.

I wish your dreams will come true!

A. Kvochur
