OREANDA-NEWS   I remember, I had it repeatedly, on an airplane it was: a plane with two engines, a bird got caught, and one engine stalled. I ask the commander (of the aircraft): what to do? He says: well, we'll make it. I say, maybe it's better to turn around and sit down? In the end, they boarded an intermediate airfield. It is always necessary to make a choice in favor of security," Putin said.

Putin also spoke about the situation with the helicopter. "We really needed to arrive at the place. I say, well, let's sit down. The commander went out. I was already president. And he (the helicopter pilot ) says: "I am the commander of the ship and I make the decision. I'm not flying." Turned around and left. This is an extremely important thing. Not only your own life is in your hands, but also the lives of dozens of people," Putin said at a meeting with representatives of the aviation industry.
