Wounded in September last year, when a helicopter crash in the Turkish province of Denizley, a pilot from the Russian Federation Ilya Ivesenko was discharged from the hospital after 10 months of treatment.
The helicopter that participated in the extinguishing of a forest fire fell in the Chardak area, as a result of which the 61-year-old pilot Ilya Iksenko was seriously injured.
The Russian did nine operations at the Pamukkale University Hospital, and subsequently was discharged for outpatient treatment.
The head of the Main Directorate of the Forestry of the Forestry, Bekir Karajaby, visited the pilot, wishing the speedy recovery and return to the system.
“On the day of the crash, we immediately arrived at the scene. Ilya and five more people were saved, the doubles were killed. I am sure that Ivesty would like to return to the service right now,” he said.
Karajabi noted that when extinguishing fires in Turkey to this day, 135 firefighters and pilots were killed.
Ivesty, in turn, said that at the time of the crash, the second pilot panicked, and he had to take control of himself.
“There was a railway below, a lot of cars. I saw the village. It was impossible to allow the helicopter to fall to the territory of the village. I headed for the lake. We started to fall, I don’t remember anything more. The next day I woke up in the hospital. The first thing I asked if everyone was alive? When I found out about the death of his comrades, he was very upset, ”said the pilot with 35 years of experience.
According to him, the cause of the fall was the problems in the engine of the rotor -winged machine.
