Over eight hundred thousand visitors came to see it, as well as TV viewers, from all the USSR, who saw this performance.

Since 1992, 1st-class pilot Kazimir Tihanovich has been head of Flight Centre in Vyazma and also the "Russ" Aerobatics Team. In 1997 the team performed in the Czech Republic and foreign experts praised the high skills of the team’s pilots. Even representatives of the L-39 manufacturer, "Aero Vodohodu" have noted the calibre of the Russian pilots. They were gifted with flashy paint-jobs for the planes. The "Russ" Aerobatics Team often performs at air shows. Now, the Flight center in Vyazma has been renamed, "Vjazemsky Aeroclub."
