The parents of West German teen-age pilot Mathias Rust arrived in Moscow to meet their imprisoned son for the first time since he landed his light plane near the Kremlin Wall. Monika and Karl-Heinz Rust, of Hamburg, will see their son today, accompanied by a West German Embassy officer, an embassy spokesman said. The parents were granted a Soviet visa valid for three days to make the trip. Rust, 19, has been held in a Moscow prison since May 28 when he flew from Helsinki, Finland, and landed in the heart of Moscow.
