Perm Bolshoye Savino is an airfield in Perm Oblast, Russia located 16 km southwest of Perm. It is a joint civil-military airfield with a small number of fighter and bomber pads. It is operated by 764 IAP (764th Interceptor Aviation Regiment), the only regiment of the combat aviation in the 5th Army of VVS and PVO (and successor of the 4th Army of PVO in the USSR). Construction of Bolshoye Savino took place in 1952 under personal control of Marshal Zhukov, who was exiled by Stalin after WWII into the Urals to take command of the Ural military district. On May 1, 1960 the pilots of 764 IAP Boris Ajvazyan and Sergey Safronov were involved in the interception of the United States U-2 spy aircraft; unfortunately Safronov, piloting a MiG-19, was shot down by friendly fire and died [1]. In 1965 Bolshoye Savino became a joint civil airport, servicing medium-sized airliners, now with 39 parking spots near terminal and cargo area. During the Cold War the airfield operated up to 38 MiG-25 interceptors, with a number of Yak-25, and Yak-28 aircraft and received modern MiG-31s in 1991 [2].
