Aviation Documentaries

RTD’s aviation documentaries feature daredevil pilots and every kind of mind-bending aircraft, introducing you to every corner of Russia’s civil and military aviation industry. You can visit the MAKS Air Show where industry oddities get a chance to fly or soar to the edge of space in the MiG-31 fighter; learn about dogfights from the Russian Air Force’s top fighter pilots, or discover how a World War Two ace survived after losing his legs crashing in the wilderness. Aviation documentaries also follow helicopter ambulances in the far north and go behind the scenes at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo international airport.

The pilots of the Swifts and Russian Knights aerobatic teams like to battle it out to see who rules the Russian skies.
