introduced to train arafat pilots they've recently gained popularity as a sports plane both inside and outside the former u.s.s.r. anyone can come here to experience what zero g. feels like to barrel turns and the loops aeronautical experience isn't necessary you just need a little courage and trust the pilots know what they're doing and once in a lifetime experience that has been enjoyed by many russians and foreigners. a lot of people would go the laws on these airplanes like you know they're a fighter you're going to hear of a powerful engine so it's very good a bright yellow propeller plane he won't miss this in the sky and after meeting my pilot it into the aircraft i go and on my harness goodness knows what i have got myself into i have a feeling this is not the faint pulse is. one thing that is apparent straight away

is the noise from the monster of an engine if i take the headset off i can hardly be myself speak. moring down the runway we can we feel every single bump and crack in the surface of a stomach churning roller coaster in the sky as we banked to an incredible sixty degrees the views from above are impressive it feels very different to a typical commercial flight though that's for sure all aerobatic maneuvers demand training and practice to avoid accidents luckily today my pilot mike seems is the main instructor and trainer at the center. g. forces are being seriously pushed here with a high pitch and a sub nose dive it's time to experience brief weightlessness zero g. . they said drill in field experience. everything i'm used to the human body can cope with everything of the positive nine g.

the officer there are even plans for a third runway. of course and ports are highly guarded locations and security is the priority but sometimes there is a chance to see what's behind the usually closed doors occasionally moscow sheremetyevo organizes the so-called plane spotting event told journalists and bloggers to get access to their response perfect for taking pictures of aircraft in action. just as a cross-posting ampoules is popular in many of the world's biggest airports open their doors and access to runways both amateur and professional photographers face bosses very much enjoy the opportunity and share their pictures with the whole world so everyone can have a closer look at the world of flying savior expanding brushes aviation industry is paramount to the country's future. radical changes to aircraft fleet you terminals budget and lines infrastructure new technology and next time you pass through one

she'll be discreetly disappointed that she went out and she didn't really put up much of a fight against her slovak opponent and there's great to be in the semifinal run in moscow in the home tournament and. it's yeah this was really bitter that played really not my best tennis today against dominika and i was trying. i was trying to do everything to do what i can and i was fighting till the end there and i believe that i can change the magic till the end i had the feeling that this can change because played against the many times she was out through a lot in the third set and i won both of that matches so i knew that everything can happen in the situations and it was an exemplary performance ponder slovakia's growing in structure with every game between plays here in moscow and especially after her three hour marathon encounter conspirators one of the organ the quarterfinals on friday all of the noise forcible have taken things easier getting to the final i saw you were well you know i was just playing too fast for her and

that's where she was making the mistakes you know and it's never easy if you were in such a society known then you just have to be yourself. in the being of the second sitting i was just a little bit later sleepy you know and i had to or i had to get begin to imagine just started weeping again. no more russians left on the women's side of the draw and away from i'll go on for another year it's been four years since you last won the ladies' singles here. he's never won the w.c. tournament's will get another chance trying to win her maiden title on sunday when she plays kind of connect in the final i'm really happy to be in. in another finals in two weeks you know and it's just as a great feeling in and of course i know i don't have any ability title but i'm sure sooner or later it will come so i don't want to make a big deal about it and in just try to go out there and play my play my best tennis

when the french team most dangerous. i think they're really not from in two thousand and seven leading into it will follow and see what they came came out and produced so for us it's just focus on how we prepare and what we want to do in the game. the french meanwhile did what it took to be a powerful wales for two weeks the final mark of romance between never looking truly solid in the nine to eight spectrum david ellis who is in charge of the team's defensive scheme says attack cianfrance i would be from the all blacks are after all a superior team they have a great chance to win and we'll try to do the same defending against the kiwis for the entire eighty minutes is impossible so we will have to go on the our fence of ourselves and cause problems for their defense. in motor g.p. denny pedrosa has claimed pole position for the malaysian grand prix the spaniard setting the fastest lap of two minutes one point six two seconds at the supreme
