I saw an interesting plane in Berlin! ZOMG. A tupolev, in Aeroflot livery. I haven't seen one of these before!

How ace do they look? So, I have seen an Il-76 in Bratislava and a Tu-154in Berlin. Russian plane list grows...

    A bit like this?

    It seems Russian jets often smoke like hell - the MiG-29 is terrible for it! Guess they should maintain them better. Videoing take-off is always fun - especially when you just lift off. I should have got one of the poor landing at Stansted, but I was too tired. (Ryanair need to give Pilots better landing practice. :( )

    Russian Planes are cool,

    It's impressive what they've been able to do on their limited resources - if they had the money the US has they'd be doing some truly amazing things.

    and it serves you right for flying with Ryanair :p

    I am a poor student, like I can afford GOOD airlines.

    Diamond - if the Russians had US money, they'd probably do the same as they are now, but buy more Vodka. :p

    Nah, they'd be up thier ruling the skies again. We'd definatley have Plasma stealth by now on thier planes - they really want that, but just can't afford it. Probably have got some new bombers too (they slightly need some, to be fair.)

    Can but hope thier economy picks up. They make the worlds best jets as it is... imagine what funds would do!

    but Ryanair though? seriously?
    :p £40 return to Berlin... cheapness!

    (I mean, I don't know if our arriving in one piece is guaranteed, but cheapness!)

    Who would you propose I use for such low prices instead?
