Extreme UtochkinUtochkin was a real idol of the public: he made the first flight across the Odessa Bay, taking off from Alexander Park (now Shevchenko Park) and landing in Dofinivka. In addition to aviation, Utochkin was involved in almost all available sports - he was a cyclist, fencer, boxer... Odessans jokingly called him an "academician of sports". Utochkin always made a show of his flights - this is how he earned a living. In 1910, a grand exhibition opened in Odessa, and an aviator's flight over its territory was organized to entertain the public. Interestingly, the organizers of the exhibition earned 3,000 rubles from this event, and Utochkin was paid 35% of the fee. However, he was offended and did not fly over the exhibition again. This is not surprising, because Utochkin's fees were usually much higher. For example, as the winner of the air competition in Warsaw that same year, he received 17,500 francs.
