Cosmonautics Day
Attention! Outdated news format. Content may not display correctly.

The 12th of April marks the 56th anniversary of manned spaceflights, humankind's’ first foray into space, a day that not only was the beginning of another chapter in exploration, but a moment that moved humanity from the realms of science fiction, into the unexplored worlds of science fact. It will be a record that can never be beaten, a young Soviet cosmonaut named Yuri Gagarin shook off the chains of Earth and ventured into space for a 108 minute flight on that day in his Vostok 1 spacecraft. A triumph for all mankind!

goo i was hoping to get another chance at getting these decals as i missed it the last time.
I already have both the decals, so is there any point in this besides the lions? I really don't see one :/ (Camos pls!)
Noooo, I'm only halfway through researching my Venom
The listed aircraft is a lack of respect with who has other jets or who has researched but could not get them.
I have all of those jets.. man it feels satisfying when you work hard on something and it pays off :D
Damn it Gaijin, I already got the rocket decal last year! I don't have a tier 5 plone yet ;'V ...I want muh Sputnik decal!!!!
Oh cool might do the events!.
Still a tier away from jets :( but i'm grinding hard!
This is the first event I've been sad I couldn't play. Just because that Sputnik decal is gorgeous! Great job Colin 'Fenris' Muir!
This is a really really bad event. To spend hours in badly designed event just to get a decal? (Which I really wanted btw).. Pfff
