On 29 August, a unique event took place at the Manskiy airfield as part of the national parachuting competitions for the DOSAAF of Russia Cup. For the first time in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, a parachutist jumped from an altitude of 1,500 metres carrying a 9 by 15-metre Russian flag. The event was organised by the National Centre RUSSIA in the Krasnoyarsk Territory together with the regional branch of DOSAAF.

The record-breaking jump was performed by Mikhail Savchenko, a member of the Russian Parachuting Federation. The flag, measuring approximately the height of a five-storey building, unfurled in the sky above the airfield, delighting the hundreds of spectators who had gathered for the event.

"If anyone has jumped with a flag this size in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, it must have been a very long time ago. Imagine a five-storey building turned on its side. It is very spectacular and beautiful, but also difficult to do. From the ground, it looks amazing, and anyone can watch the record. It is a great celebration — a flag, the sky, aircraft and aviation," said Mikhail Savchenko.
