A two-deck Boeing 747 is pictured during a meeting at Simferopol International Airport, Crimea, Russia. The plane, which made its first direct flight from Vladivostok in five years, was greeted with a water arch. The tradition of organizing a "water arch", also known as the "Arch of Triumph", passed to civil aviation from the Navy, where ships from new countries or cities that first entered the port were met in this way.
