Peculiar plane landed in Ufa

A plane with an image of the creator of the periodic table of chemical elements, Dmitry Mendeleyev, landed yesterday at the Ufa airport. The portrait of the great Russian scientist is painted on the tail section of the plane.

As the press service of the capital's main air gate commented, the themed livery was created as a tribute to the researcher, who also flew in a balloon to study the upper layers of the atmosphere and observe a solar eclipse.
