Default Re: New Russian OOB (or SPR OOB)

Thank you. That's close to what I found and guessed for the G-11/G-29 as well.

However. The info I am finding on Russian Military gliders in general is that they were withdrawn from service in the late 1950's. "In the late 1950s transport gliders were withdrawn from service, as obsolete mean of transport" as Helicopeter became more numerous and reliable is typical of the remarks What do you have that shows them being in service into the 1960's? The translations I've run have not been very helpful.
