Dima from St. Petersburg's cherished wish came true

Within the New Year's campaign "Yolka Zhelaniy" with the support of the Government of the Russian Federation, the Head of the Russian Emergencies Ministry Alexander Kurenkov fulfilled the dream of 9-year-old Dmitry Ishkuatov.

"The boy dreams of becoming a pilot and has long wanted to feel like a helicopter pilot. The wish was fulfilled at the North-West Aviation Rescue Center of the Russian Emergencies Ministry. This was a real surprise for the child, which will be remembered for many years," said the Head of the Russian Emergencies Ministry Alexander Kurenkov.

The aviators of the Russian Emergencies Ministry conducted a tour of the unit, introduced the aircraft fleet, told about the profession and the purpose of the center. The young man sat at the controls of a rescue helicopter and familiarized himself with its navigation equipment.
