Chapter 2 The promotion came with elevated respect from those around me and a small pay raise, but it also brought a load of new responsibilities. Gone were the days when I could disappear for my two days off, spending them carelessly in Lyudmila Salnikova's bed or showing up for a pre-flight exam with a face puffy from vodka. The doctor would occasionally remark, while taking my blood pressure, "Grigoriev, at least breathe to the side. Your vodka fumes make my eyes water." Everything shifted suddenly. My reckless youthful days were now behind me, and I had to be more disciplined

"The crew with callsign 716." "Where was he?" getting up from his lap, Svetlana asked. "When you came in he was right here," Konstantin replied, pointing at the radar screen, and, looking at his wristwatch, added, "Right now he should be at least one hundred miles closer, but he's nowhere to be seen." The telephone operator, who had served more than five years in the Fleet's communication battalion, immediately understood how serious the situation was. Buttoning up her uniform blouse and straightening her skirt, she said,

It felt as if I were sitting in the middle of Captain Likhovtsev's counter-espionage office. On the wall behind him hung a portrait of Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Extraordinary Commission for the Struggle Against Sabotage and Banditry. Behind me, two investigators from the Military Prosecutors' Office meticulously transcribed my every word. Captain Likhovtsev led the interrogation, his voice soft, almost affectionate, but like a relentless wind-up toy, he kept repeating the same question:

In a discreet corner, as if intentionally avoiding notice, sat a small wooden panel about ten inches high and fifteen wide. On a double page torn from a West German magazine, a professional photographer had printed images of sausages, smoked pork, wieners, sprats, roasted chops, poultry, lamb ribs, game bird fillets, all with three bottles of horseradish in the background. The advertisement exclaimed: "You Can Eat Whatever You Like with this Horseradish." In the upper left corner, coated with colorless lacquer, was affixed a ration card for two pounds of sugar, issued by the Leningrad City Executive Committee for March 1985. The profundity of the artist's concept touched the heart of any Russian.

"What did they say?" she inquired again, playfully competing with Elena for my attention. "You have been bestowed with the honorary title of 'Hero of Sofa-ist Labor.' The Golden Phallus award ceremony will take place upon your return from the conference." Elena burst into laughter, and Galyna gave me a playful, albeit slightly painful, pinch on my side. "But on a serious note, I need to leave for Moscow in two hours. So if you want to make the most of our time together, you better get to work on my weary body."

The KGB officer skimmed through my explanation and promised to consult an aviation specialist. He didn't bring up the matter again, soon being preoccupied with other concerns. The second bout of unpleasantness took a different form. During a regular communist party meeting, I found myself facing severe criticism. After my fellow party members had taken their seats, the party organization's secretary addressed the room, "Comrade communists, there is one issue on today's agenda," he began. "It pertains to Comrade Grigoriev's political immaturity."

"Since without a copilot I could set course for the Japanese Island of Hokkaido instead of for Vladivostok, and I"d land in Sapporo instead of Artem. I only need twenty minutes to fly to Japan, whereas it"s a two-hour flight to my home base" "But what's to prevent you from doing that during a regular flight?" As the sailors carried Kovalenko in a stretcher toward the plane, the Major, his wife, and I trailed behind, stealing glances at the copilot, who attempted a faint smile.

"Can we get a replacement copilot? Why punish the whole crew for someone else's dirty trick?" "Higher-ups require that a crew flying abroad must have previously worked together. They won't allow a single pilot to be replaced." "Who will fly in our place?" Vladimir asked his superior. "Squadron Commander Major Sologub." After concluding the uncomfortable conversation with his deputy, the Colonel gestured for me to approach. When I was almost face to face with him, he spoke in a low voice,

I grasped the implications immediately, though I refrained from verbalizing them. Landing on a single main landing gear was an uncharted territory, as it wasn't a practiced scenario during training. Landing without nose gear was relatively straightforward - touch down on the main gear and gently lower the nose by pulling back on the control column until the aircraft slows down. Landing with no landing gear at all was simpler - glide down onto the belly and slide to a halt. But a single main landing gear posed a unique challenge. Well, we'll figure it out when we reach the alternate aerodrome.

Having made an opening large enough to fit the fire hose through, the sailors flooded the passenger compartment until there were no more signs of smoke. Soon the water in the fire truck ran out. The Colonel, who had been observing the rescue operation from a distance, hurried to the driver's cabin, pounded on the door with his fist several times, and growled at the sailor who had appeared, "What the hell are you standing there for? Immediately hurry for more water!" But the truck couldn"t move away. Because the hoses were badly connected a large quantity of water had gathered beneath its wheels. The ground beneath the truck had softened, causing the wheels to spin and the truck to sink deeper and deeper into the soil.
