Two-thirds of my way through this journey, comparisons started to be made and opinions formed. Russia today is a new country, just 20 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Great strides have been made transitioning to a free-market economy. It’s huge and vast resources beg to be developed. The people, especially the younger ones, are intent on achieving lifestyles equal to ours.

While business people and the younger generation push to forge ahead, they are often restrained by overbearing regulations, bureaucrats furthering only their own empires, outdated ideas, or the lack of understanding or intuition of government officials. For example, I am told of many smaller airfields closed and abandoned because they couldn’t afford official security, which is the same for a small GA plane as it is for a 747. There are no training flights at the Ekaterinburg because federal regulations relegate that activity to certain small, out-of-the-way with specific approved schools.

Have you ever used your “plan B” on a cross-country flight and landed at an alternate airport? If you haven’t, it’s likely that you will experience this at some point…so it’s a good idea to have a solid backup should you encounter unexpected weather or other conditions at your planned destination.

A “plan B” airport could be required along the way, and any number of issues could come up far short of your destination. So that would call for a diversion, whether it’s one you’ve planned ahead of time or one that you need to find, literally, on the fly.
