According his own words (I interviewed him several times during past two weeks), T. saw how the pilot climbed out of the plane after his attack (tall guy, maybe red-haired), opened a parachute and fell to the sea.
You can see the previous version of interview made by another researcher O.Korytov on http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/pilo...tikhomirov.htm |
He say about 7000 flight hour before he was transferred to his unit. It is possible ??? Even if he was an instructur ?
