At a meeting in Istanbul, Turkiye, Russia asked US representatives to consider reopening US airspace to Russian aircraft and resume direct flights between the two countries. Meanwhile, on 24 Feb 2025 the European Commission announced renewed sanctions against Moscow, including an extension of the flight ban on airlines from other countries flying to Europe if they operate domestic flights within Russia. The latest package extends the flight ban to third-country airlines that conduct domestic flights within Russia or supply aviation goods to Russian airlines. The ban impacts transactions with two airports in Moscow, Vnukovo Airport (VKO) and Zhukovsky Airport (ZIA), as well as four regional airports.

Good morning, Doc Sarvis. Thanks for the film, I'll check it out. The Russians are proud of their aviation history. Note that emigre Igor Sikorsky is wearing his hat while testing the single rotor VS-300 in May 1940.
