Recently two collaborations (Tibet ASγ and HAWC) almost simultaneously reported about their measurements of ultra-high-energy (> 100 TeV) gamma rays from the Crab Nebula. The Baksan air shower array (BASA) recorded a burst from this very source as long ago as more than 20 years. At the moment the new experiment on gamma ray astronomy (Carpet-3 project) started at Baksan, and it is appropriate to recall old results of BASA to be compared with the new results, already published and expected.
