Bing translation: "Simply cool: June 4, 1965 Mr. Valentin Privalov military
pilot on this aircraft overflew a central span of the bridge over the Ob
River. The day was hot, the sun on mostulyudi, beach on the full
holidaymakers, among whom were officers of the district headquarters, and
suddenly the roar of aircraft and silver arrow rushes in front of everyone
under the bridge, and then soaring up sharply, raising a huge wave of the
Gypsies. The distance between the supports of the bridge 120 m, 30 m
clearance. This plane was in a 'window' on the speed of 700 km / h. At that
speed, even a slight touch of the control handle to change the height of the
aircraft by the meter. Airplane flying just meters above the water. The
circumstances were complicated by the fact that at a distance of just 950
meters from the Municipal bridge downstream is the most important railway
bridge and highway ZapSib it took part. The pilot was only 5 seconds to
catch up soar without hitting the bridge. Privalov threatened the tribunal,
but the then Minister of Defense Marshal R.Ya.Malinovsky pilot decided to
leave in order. Privalov then served in Kubinka."
