Belarusian athlete Kirill Shimko was able to hold two Yak-52 aircraft in position with his hands during takeoff, Lenta.ru reports with reference to Belorusskaya sluzhba novostei (BSN).
This stunt was performed at Borovaya airfield (Minsk) on request of Nippon TV channel (Japan), which is shooting a TV series about journeys to different countries. The journalists were present at the airfield when the stunt was performed.
According to BSN, takeoff weight of each aircraft is almost 1,5 tons. The athlete managed to hold the vehicles in position for several minutes (exact time was not specified).
Shimko has already demonstrated his physical capacities earlier: he moved a train, a 150-tons aircraft, T-34 tank, BelAZ dump truck and 118-tons tower crane.
