Victor Chmal

June 14, 2015 My best friend, an outstanding pilot, coach, athlete, Absolute World Champion in aerobatics, a wonderful man VIKTOR Chmal, died prematurely. ​ I express my deep condolences to Victor's family and friends… This is the person I will really miss in this life. We were introduced by the Russian national aerobatics team and for many years we were not just athletes of the same national team, but also mentors and coaches for each other, and over the years these relations developed into family friendship. Victor is a truly devoted friend. In trouble, in joy, and just in life, his reliable shoulder was always there. A man with a capital letter. Modest and kind, cheerful and responsive, reliable and loyal, responsible and always confident. A true professional of his beloved business… The Lord takes the best to himself. Eternal pain... and a bright memory…
