I happened 2 times in my life, to visit the aviation day in Kacha. The first time was as a child, and the second in 2014. That's what I want to write about. By the way, Kacha is located near Sevastopol. Therefore, if you are staying nearby, and even with children, then I highly recommend visiting this holiday, where you can climb the planes and take pictures.

When is Aviation Day celebrated?
It is celebrated every year, on the third Sunday of August. The full name of the holiday: Day of the Air Fleet of Russia. In Kacha, respectively, it is also celebrated on these dates. In 2014, it was August 17.
How to get to Kacha from Sevastopol?
On the minibus number 137. It goes from Ushakov Square and runs every 30 minutes in the summer. There is another minibus, number 36, which goes from the North (Radiogorka, where to sail by ferry). In terms of time, the minibus goes 40-50 minutes.
How is aviation day in Kacha
The holiday begins at 9 a.m. Then a small parade takes place and a military band plays. Further, everyone has the opportunity to see planes and helicopters, there are few of them, but some of them can be entered. It's all free! Therefore, there are a lot of children at the holiday and there is a queue, namely to climb into the plane. In general, there is nothing more to do at the holiday, so by 12, the planes begin to roll back to the parking lot, and the people gradually disperse. By the way, I recommend then to go to the beach, it is sandy, you can sunbathe and swim.

Planes in the distance: 
Keep in mind that the equipment is all old, you will not see new aircraft here. You could get into the helicopter, standing in line with the kids 🙂 
The biggest queue was in this plane: 
It began to drizzle, and many hid from it under the wing: 
And here's what's inside a big plane: 
That's basically all. Then we went swimming on the beach. The weather was windy and the sea was muddy.
