Moscow to Wisconsin?

Post by AEROMONKEY »

I was playing around on flight aware and saw this passing over Cyqt. Moscow to Boscobel Wisconsin in a Yak-142? Seems pretty regular...just curious if anyone knows what that's all about. We know how much the Americans like the Russians!! http://flightaware.com/live/flight/GZP995

I think something is amiss. The flight says it is just under 3 hours.
Not to mention runway is 5000' and they don't sell Jet A there...

The maps I see when I click on the flightaware link the map show the tracks ending approximately over the city of Vologda, Russia each time. The summary still says Boscobel, WI though.

More likely OVS (Sovetsky Airport). If you do the Google on GZP995, the flight information pops up.
8000km in 2.75 hours is:

With the filed airspeed being 1483kts, I am sure it was a filing error or flightaware mistook a Russian destination with an American one.
