Helipad Samara

This helipad is located on the Volga River in the village of Management, which is located in the city of Samara. The population of the area called it as "Vertoletka." In 30-40-ies of the last century, there really exercised landing the helicopter, which belonged to the designer, who worked at the enterprise SNTK them. Kuznetsova. By virtue of his position and the difficulty of travel in this area, and the government has allocated a helicopter designer.

But at that time already had this flat area, where there was no forest, it was called "Sanin Polyana". Due to the excellent service of the local forest ranger has received this territory in their possession, after which he cleared and cultivate it. After a few decades, the village was founded by Management, which settled the workers for the construction of the dam. But the dam was never built because of the outbreak of the war.

Active and large-scale construction was started only in 2000 year, and a helipad began to appear. Samara is a big enough city, so there were plenty of people willing to take up this project. But the announced tender could be won only by a large and responsible company, since there was a lot of work and the lines were rather short. As a result, the construction took the local company ViKiS. The management of this company did a great job of clearing the territory, from which over one hundred trucks with garbage were taken out and three hundred trucks with black soil were delivered, which formed the basis of this helipad. Samara and her management sent to these works the chief architect of the city, who was Zhukov, as well as the artist A.F. Temnikov. Due to the work of the professional team and coordinated actions, everything was completed in just a month and a half.

Besides all this, a lot of historical and interesting events are connected with this place.
