Well, we have caught up with the Chinese New Year in this 2023 :-) A small but important gift, at the request of the Russian Division of the IWAO, we have prepared for you - Chara Airport is now available for MSFS2020!

Chara Regional Airport is located 2 km northeast of the village of Chara in the Trans-Baikal Territory. The airport is open only during daylight hours. The airport is located on the outskirts of the village, within walking distance from the center. A bus runs along the next street at intervals of 1-1.5 hours to the village and the New Chara station on BAM.

Once the village of Chara was the center of the Trans-Baikal Gulag, around which there were penal camps on all sides,
and even with poetic names - Cinelga, Sulban... Even then our airport was in demand, prisoners
and special settlers were brought here from Chita by small planes. 62 "Douglas" were involved in this operation.
The runway was prepared by geologists who found uranium and copper deposits in these places. According to their memories, there were moments
when planes lined up in a heavenly queue, because they did not have time to escort prisoners on earth…
There is information that captured Junkers (Ju-52) were also used for cargo transportation. Some of them
landed on Lake Leprindo in winter, from where winter roads went to Chara and to the camp sites of Borlag.
The strip of the airport "Chara" has dimensions of 1800 x 35 meters. The airport's airfield has the ability to withstand
a load of up to 26 tons.
The first thing that passengers who arrive by plane at Chara Airport see is high Alpine-type mountains.
This is the Kodar Ridge. Translated from Evenk, "kodar" means "wall". Above the Charskaya Valley (approximately 650 m above sea level)
the ridge practically without foothills takes off at once by more than 2 km. The highest point of Kodar is BAM Peak (3073m).
Because of such a sharp and large elevation difference, Kodar is sometimes called "little Himalayas"
, the airport is ready to accept the following types of aircraft: An-12, AN-24, An-26, An-28, An-30, L-410, Yak-40 and others .
types of aircraft of 3-4 classes, helicopters of all types.

The main (regular) flights are now operated by Angara - AN-24/26 and Aeroservice on L-410. For a while, Mi-2 was seen there in camouflage. Recently, a private Yak-40 without livery has also been seen in ap Chara.

Well, here's another gift! The guys from DTC Studio (Timur and Egor), together with Philip Khromov, completely rebuilt Novosibirsk! Now the port of 2023 is available for you! The guys are great fellows! The work was hard and went on for almost a year! But they did it! We ask you to love and favor! You guys are great fellows!!! We are proud of you! Keep it up !
