The Baltic Spit. Neutief airbase. Sights of Kaliningrad. # 68

https://vk.com/padonak39 Hey. In this review I will tell you about the sights of the Baltic Spit, the airbase Noitif. Originally an airfield built for the Luftwaffe (Luftwaffe). Neutief It consists of a runway, hydropower, several huge hangars and a number of service buildings, including semi-buried buildings. The construction was started in 1934, completed in 1939. A concrete plant was also constructed for construction needs. "The archives show that the airfield turned out to be glorious, backlit with lights installed on the water surface of hydrogany, and the land runways were located at an angle of 45 degrees to each other, which made it possible to operate the air base in virtually any weather and any direction of the wind, except That strip also had heating. The airfield had 3 huge concrete hangars 100x30 meters for airplanes, and 2 metal for another equipment. After the war, according to eyewitnesses, everything remained in perfect condition: the hangar doors were electrified, everything was stored and worked. Later on this site was located the Soviet, and then the Russian airfield "Kosa", which was based PRO 49 APPLA (separate anti-submarine air squadron). The anti-submarine squadron, armed with the hydroplanes "Catalina", Be-6 and Be-12, existed from 1945 to 1998, when, along with other parts, it ceased to exist on the wave of organizational measures. In addition to it, until 1960, the fighter regiments of the aviation of the DKBF, which were part of the 24th IAD aviation of the DKBF, were based on Kos. Among her commanders were the Twice Heroes of the Soviet Union A.E. Mazurenko and V.I. Popkov. They were armed with piston airplanes Lavochkin, Yakovlev, American "Kingcobra", later - MiG-15 and MiG-17. The fighters used a concrete runway built by the Germans and rebuilt in the Soviet era, in 1950-51. WFP-53 was extended to 2000 m and expanded to 60 m. New RDs were built. The aerodrome received new radio and lighting equipment: landing system OSB-48, marker, VHF and HF radio stations, landing lights. Unfortunately, at the present time nothing of the above is preserved, the plates - and those are packed in several places. Those who survived in the north-western part of the runway survived - away from the crossing. The seaplanes used a special hydrohabitator, which had concrete ramps right next to the hangars - who had seen it. The task of the squadron included the search, detection and destruction of enemy submarines, (including in cooperation with surface ships), for which bombs and torpedoes were used. The aircraft were also involved in search and rescue operations, overflight of surface ships and other specific tasks specific to naval aviation. Before disbanding, in 1995 the squadron was transferred to Khrabrovo airport, where, after some time, in 1998 ceased to exist, and the aircraft were cut, except for one Be-12, which stood for a long time in the parking lot in Khrabrovo , until it was transferred to the Kaliningrad Museum of the World Ocean. The fact that he survived was explained simply: his form was lost, without which the plane could not be written off. So he stood. It should be noted that until the last days the squadron participated in the exercises of the Baltic Fleet, carried out bombing and torpedo-metering, and the aircraft remained a resource. Her departure into history is one of many sad pages of the history of our state. There was a photo of this plane (07 yellow) at the parking in Khrabrovo, still in the process of operation: The air base was used until the 1990s, when it was abandoned. In July 2014 Spetsstroy of Russia began work on the restoration of the hydro-aerodrome on the Baltic Spit, where the Be-200 amphibious aircraft will be based. In the course of the restoration work, the runway and taxiways are to be overhauled and equipped with a heating system. It is also planned to clean and repair the bottom of the hydro-gas, equip the summer pool and equip the hydrospray. Vice-Admiral Viktor Chirkov, being the commander of the Baltic Fleet, announced the decision to revive the antisubmarine aircraft of the fleet, armed with aircraft. It is expected that the first such aircraft will go to the fleet in late 2014 - early 2015. The Baltic Spit. Neutief airbase.
