Dear Friends!
  I sincerely welcome you on the project “Exposition of MVK achievements in the stratosphere — Still higher, and higher, and higher!" I have always admired the exploit of the great soviet pilot Valery Chkalov and I was dreaming to pass his heroic route once again.

I am very grateful to the MVK exposition holding for carrying out my dream. This is a unique company, conscious of its social responsibility and ready to share its wealth with people to give them fun and rejoicing. I hope that the example of MVK holding will inspire the owners of other companies and that the idea of charity projects in Russia will be reanimated.

Nowadays, when the Russian public is in active search of a national idea capable to unite all the citizens of this immense country, it is important to appeal to history, to the events that we can be proud of. The non- stop flight by Chkalov —this is exactly one of such events that has a full patriotic impact.

I wish your dreams to come true!

A. Kvochur
