Unlike other sports, in order to engage in aviation sports, one must first undergo long and complex training, regardless of whether they are engaged in parachuting, gliding or flying powered aircraft. After World War I, the majority of sports pilots were former military pilots. It was important for all armies in the world that they remain in training, and since flying is expensive, the sport was subsidized by the state everywhere. In addition, until the end of the 1920s, sports aviation was dominated by former military training aircraft everywhere in the world except in Germany. Only from the end of the 1920s, in richer countries, did specially designed sports aircraft begin to dominate sports aviation (for example, the DH-60 Gypsy Moat). In smaller countries, former military training aircraft will dominate until World War II, especially in pilot schools that are starting to be opened by aero clubs. In the same way, Aero Club Nasha Krila received former training aircraft of the Air Force of the Small and Middle Brandenburg and Anrio 320 for training sport pilots.
