Helicopter Pilot's Day is celebrated annually in Russia on the second Saturday of December. In 2024, Helicopter Pilot Day is celebrated on December 14th.
On this day, those who are in love with the sky and give their civic duty by performing responsible tasks are honored.
After all, it is often the helicopter that becomes the only transport that can get to hard-to-reach places - mountains and taiga. He does not need a runway and a solid airfield - just a small area for landing. And if there is none, then the helicopter can hover in the air to pick up people from the ground or land troops, medics or rescuers.
Thanks to the bravery, professionalism and courage of helicopter pilots, thousands of people get a chance to escape every year.
They have no equal during earthquakes, fires and floods. They are the first to rush to the rescue in such situations.
On a festive day, demonstrations are usually held, where the aces of the sky demonstrate aerobatics. And the best of them receive well-deserved awards and prizes
