ED Team Chizh Posted February 28, 2019 ED Team Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Yesterday our friend and colleague, heart and soul of many planes in DCS World Alexander Chichilanov has passed away. Aviation enthusiast, romantic and a dreamer, a military pilot second class who mastered multiple airplane types, after retirement from Air Force he worked as a project manager in Belsimtek with enthusiasm. We were all very pleased to work with him, he inspired by his dedication and attitude, supported us with the warmth of his soul, part of which remained forever to live in his aircrafts in the DCS World. He inspired us all with his cordial attitude, goal-oriented and focused approach. Soul is not dying, and part of his soul will be living in his planes in DCS World!

QuiGon Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 R.I.P. Alexander. If the quality of Belsimteks modules is any indicator of his work, then he was indeed a great guy. I will continue to enjoy his work for many more years to come!

Crimson Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I do not know this man, but I feel great sadness. R.I.P. Я лично в общем-то летал. У меня 42 вылета, и каждый раз меня сбивали. Если честно говорить, то в общем-то я ни разу сам не посадил самолёт.
