Events Today

Dear IVAO members,

Russian division is glad to present you the first Russian Aviation Championship, as known in Europe as KUMI, but we called him in a different way - "TJO". This is an abridged interpretation of the phrase "Tell a joke". Sense in that the last pilot had flown after everyone tells a joke in aviation subjects (anecdote, mems, jokes, etc.).
Okay. You may ask: "Hmm, what about winners? They will also have something to say?"
No! Our beautiful enthusiasts prepared a small but pleasant prizes for pilots, taking the first three places.


TJO has a second name(in Russia), better known on the previous year - "Zigel Zigel Ai Lu Lu" and consists of a 22-steps(!). An event will be held during the whole year, from 10.02.2013 till 01.12.2013.
Oh, don't try to translate "Zigel..." to any languages , it's a fictional phrase from old Soviet movie, which means "quickly".
