A local lawyer who dreamed of flying The story of Russian pilot Damir Yusupov, who saved 233 lives by landing his plane in a cornfield

Yusupov started flight school only after serving as a public lawyer in the Samara region

In 2017, Yusupov said in an interview with the local news site ProPolevskoy that he had loved flying since he was a child: His father was the captain of an Mi-8 helicopter crew. However, when the young Yusupov applied to flight school, he didn’t pass the medical exam and decided to go to law school instead. However, he never lost sight of his dream of flying.

Yusupov’s 23-year-old co-pilot Georgy Murzin received his license just two years ago.
He graduated from St. Petersburg State University of Civil Aviation in 2017
and was hired by Ural Airlines in 2018.

The young pilot had accumulated only 600 flight hours when he found himself in a situation no pilot ever wants to face.
