Belavia Tupolev Tu-154 Full Flight: Minsk to Geneva (with ATC)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 май 2015
- A full, uncut full flight video with Belavia from Minsk (MSQ) to Geneva (GVA) onboard the last ever Tupolev 154 flight into Europe.
On 29 May 2015, Belavia operated the last ever Tu-154 flight into Europe onboard aircraft EW-85748. I was lucky enough to secure a seat on the flight, which is normally operated by CRJ.
Key parts:
00:00:11 Boarding
00:12:40 Engine start
00:21:45 Takeoff
02:26:00 Top of descent
02:55:15 Approaching Geneva
03:00:05 Landing in GVA
03:12:00 Deboarding
The video begins in the terminal at Minsk, prior to boarding, before we get a bus out to the aircraft sitting on a remote stand. The engines start soon after boarding, and we are on our way for the 2.5 hour flight to Geneva.
We turn left after takeoff, getting a great view of the city of Minsk, before heading towards Warsaw, Prague, Stuttgart, Zurich and finally for a beautiful scenic approach along Lake Geneva and landing with full reverse thrust deployed. ATC is included for approach and landing in Geneva.
Video taken from seat 23F.

I really REALLY love the Soloviev D30KU engines... That sound ♥
+И Жирков Incredible sound, it really blew me away!
+И Жирков согласен - чистый драйв. Сразу видно что РЕАЛЬНО обороты набирает а не как у Б737 ))) Тоже кстати белками летал крайний раз - в РФ тут их уже не найдешь) Раритет. p.S. Smart move - all wing mechanization seen )
Greetings from the US. The take-off and landing sounded great, no rattles unlike most Airbus videos on you-tube. Surprised to see any old Soviet made aircraft flying into Europe in 2015.
avioncamper Hey! This was my first (and probably last) Tu-154 flight. The aircraft felt very sturdy and was in incredible condition. Such a smooth and pleasant flight, a shame that I've only flown on this gem so late in its career!
Спасибо за видео! Это как возвращение в молодость. Правда, тогда чаще летал на Ту-154Б-2 и слушал незабываемый вокал с придыханием трёх НК-8-2У...
+Дмитрий Севрюгин Это завывание - то, ради чего я маленьким всегда ждал полеты на этой чудо машине!!!!! Просто музыка для ушей))))
I’ll
Love that engine sound.
Amazing tripreport! I like your long movie! Love the Sound! Awesome whistle Sound!
+Dennis Movieplanespotting Thank you! The video doesn't do justice to the sound, it was incredible!
+1
Я смотрел это видео несколько лет назад, а сейчас я словно пеееместился в то время когда я впервый раз его посмотрел. Спасибо за видео!
Was watching/listening while working.. nothing like working with an ambient sound and feel as if my office was on an airplane! Thank you for sharing this full video.
jajawockeez Glad to know I'm not the only one who does this when I work from home :-) Thanks for commenting!
Thanks for this nice clear-sky video, outstanding nice high metallic engine sounds. TU-154 is an elegant plane.
Jan Butterfeld It truly is an amazing aircraft to fly on. Very comfortable and incredible music from the Soloviev engines.
I love these planes. Much like the beautiful MD-11, IL-86/96, and IL-62 I wish I could fly on one but sadly that isn't a posibility.
Take-off sounds brilliant - way better than most modern aircraft!!
+Inflight788 Ahhh yes, that whine is incredible, never flown on another aircraft that sounded that good!
sierra romeo tango Does anybody know if this plane has any asbestos materials in the galley area if this plane?
Amazing video, amazing sound, amazing plane! Thank you!
+Max Scooterfan You're welcome, glad you enjoyed the video :)
I noticed quite a few suggested Tu154 and 134 flights and other videos in the list of suggested videos below all of these comments, and I look forward to listening to some of them. Those airplanes are just fantastic!
Noel, firstly, thank you for uploading this experience. Secondly, I am struck how similar the Tu-154 is in length and interior to an old Boeing 707!
One of my favorite airplane.And the sound is like a symphony of engines.
It's a beautiful aircraft :)
Music to my ears! Excellent video!
Thank you, I still keep listening to this one even now the Tu-154 sounds incredible!
i would be so excited to go on a Tup, now you have enabled me to almost do it, thank you !
+Rich Wills Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. I try to aim to give an experience of flight as true as possible to the real thing, so when these things are gone for good we can still look back and experience them :)
That plane sounds incredible!
It's awesome :)
Very nice Video, I fly with the T154 back to Minsk. Thanks for upload :)
Thank you for this awesome video !
+beneluxflights You are very welcome, thank you for watching! I have a lot more uncut full flight videos, please check them out and subscribe for more :)
Congratulations and thanks a lot for this video ;) !!
+Harry cover Thank you glad you enjoyed :)
Эх, тушка хороша! Классное видео!
Спасибо! Красивый самолет :)
What a slow climbing after take off :) Nice vid!
Europe Flyer Absolutely, I was amazed at the poor climb rate, especially considering the aircraft was almost empty! We did cruise at FL380 though which surprised me at how high it was!
Awesome work recording and putting this video together. Super Like!
Planes123 Thank you!
Splendid video! Keep up the good work =)
ILoveFigures Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Спасибо за легендарный самолет и легендарный полет.
Спасибо за просмотр :)
12:50 Let the Russian engine symphony begin.
15:53 Beginning of taxi
Fantastic footage!! Well done! I have always wanted to fly on the TU-154M..........
flutey77 Thank you! Me too, it was always an ambition and when I heard it would be operating this flight of course I booked right away (cost an absolute fortune, but was worth every penny!). Glad you enjoyed the video!
A lovely flight wit Belavia Tupolev, Sir. :-)
Fernando Permana Thank you :-)
Your welcome, Sir. God bless you... :-)
I honestly had nightmares starring the TU-154 after flying it several times in 90s Aeroflot.. my scariest experiences flying, ever! It's good to read you found this specific one in good shape - it's really unique, in all possible ways (the sound alone is so different!). What an experience - soon these will all be part of herstory!
Wow that's insane but also pretty cool! I wished I'd have got on more Tu154s they are incredible. And a shame these are all but consigned to the history books now :(
Yeah I feel I took a ride on a piece of herstory... but I can't say I will ever miss this plane - I have never had a similar experience on other models and I still shiver when I hear its engines... (but am still obsessively listening to them! :)
PS your channel is AMAZING and I view your videos religiously - and have them all in the background in the office - it keeps me calm and focused when working :)
Thanks for taking the time and effort into creating this truly wonderful channel, it's heaven for us plane lovers!
Thanks so much for the great comments! Really appreciate your support. And since I last messaged you I decided on a whim to book one more Soviet aircraft - so my next flight will be on an Antonov An-24 in Ukraine :)
O. Em. G. That is insane! I didn't even realise they were still in service! Wow, that is one video I'll be looking forward to watching :) So many questions about it. I guess the Tu-154 is good practice you could get before stepping in yet another time machine :)
Aeroflot was in bad shape in the 90's, like the rest of Russia. Even their A310 was scary to fly on back then, because you knew they barely had any money to keep it in working order. The TU-154 itself is not a dangerous plane, but it had the unfortunate fate of being left in the hands of airlines that didn't have the money or interest to take good care of them.
Muy buen video del viaje completo y el sonidaso de los motores mucho mejor, ojala y sigas subiendo mas videos
Amazing!....Good Night from Argentina
Thank you! And Gracias por ver :)
Smooth landing
Amazing video and amazing job ! :)
+Gregori Quirós Valadez Thank you!
This was simply awesome!!!
+Dana Danarosana Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, it was a great plane to ride on!
Очень хорошее видео! Настольная по детству! ту-154 для многих Россиян - самолет детства.
Только он больше всех самолетов разбился...
me encanta el sonidaso de estos aviones.muy bueno el video y sigue subiendo mas videos de estos
+Juan Inventado ¡Gracias! Me alegro de que disfruten los videos, aterrizajes felices :)
Beautiful video thank you for sharing. There was a moment there on takeoff at 22 minutes and 33 seconds where the engines wound down. I would’ve said you can stop and let me out!
Super Video!! Danke!
+Danilo Mihaljcic Thank you :) Glad you enjoyed!
I loved it! Thanks.
+juant30 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Amazing video !
+Sacha Al-Aref HD Videos and Time Lapses Thank you!
What a gorgeous plane
Wonderful Video. The Tu-154 is the best airliner forever.
Thank you! It's a great aircraft to fly on, very sad that it was the only time I've ever flown on one, and likely will remain that way :(
i flown very often with her in my childhood and youth. Also sad, that she becomes more and more rare.
I was lucky enough to have flown on one of these airplanes in the early 2000's. Looks and feels like an oversized Boeing 727, but much older. Great sounding engines though. I sat in the emergency exit row and there was an air escaping sound from the exit perimeter the entire flight from Moscow to Ufa, Russia, but everything worked out well. Great airplane.
Fantastic, I really enjoyed flying on the Tu154. It felt so incredible smooth throughout the flight, a wonderful aircraft!
great video and excellent piloting...
+robert glenn Thanks, yep excellent flying!
+inflight Video Perhaps, you can answer a question for me. I flew from Seattle to Moscow in August of 1990. Do you know what Soviet craft I would have been riding in?
+robert glenn in 1990 it would no longer be a soviet craft, but rather a 767/757
+robert glenn It has been the ILYUSHIN IL-62
vostok1100 Thank you. That certainly sounds like the plane we flew on. Best pilots I've ever flown with. We didn't even know we had touched down.
That looked like one of the smoothest flights ever. No turbulence at all.
+Ian Whelan It was pretty smooth! I don't know whether it's down to the aircraft or the weather that day - but it was certainly one of the smoothest aircraft I've ever flown on (along with the 787).
올려주신 동영상 감사합니다
시청 해주셔서 감사합니다! 나는 당신이 그것을 즐겼기를 바란다.
Шедевр самолётостроения!
+Семен Андреев Я согласен!
Nice work! :D
planesguy Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
bellissimo aereo e sempre superbo il volo fino a geneva fantastico
that's some old school noise right there. awesome.
+give me pizza or give me death Absolutely, sends chills down your spine :)
What a cool airplane, great sound, love the sound of jet engines, louder the better! What a shame they don't use these much anymore.
't
Sounded like a DeHavilland Comet.
+jajawockeez Yes ,another paragon of good design.
Шикардос!
Good job!
FlywithDMI Thank you!
Legend.
What an experience!
+Kliffy77 It was indeed, so great to fly on an aircraft I thought I would only ever dream of flying :) Hope you enjoyed the video!
Наши Тушки самые лучшие.Класс.24 года в небе говорит о многом.
Хуйня ваши тушки. Загугли сколько в небе 737 или 747
One nice aircraft !!! I have to fly on one
It's beautiful and completely changed my thoughts on Soviet aircraft. Incredibly comfortable and smooth as well as being a beautiful aircraft. You can still fly on them in Russia I believe.
Красивое видео.
Спасибо :)
I got goosebumps when the engines started up and take off, what a incredible video CONGRATULATIONS, how you fixed your go pro?
+Huang Mora Thank you so much, I attach it to the window with a suction mount :)
Nicely done. But an additional view would have been cool. Great sounds!
+InflightVideo is this aircraft still used today and it is huge lol great video :)
+TheAirplaneDude They still use them on some flights inside Russia/Belarus, but there are no more flying to Western Europe on scheduled flights :(
+TheAirplaneDude PS please check out my other full flight videos :)
cпасибо за совет))))
Man, that is a loud airplane!
+Kabir RB Incredibly musical engines, I had shivers down my spine when they spooled up the engines :-)
Good
I liked that aircraft for going to far east countries, it is a very nice trijet
I couldn't understand what the flight attendant was saying all during taxiing at Minsk, but looking at the length I guess she read the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?! ;)
Besides that a very nice flight you shared with us. Thanks for that! :)
Henningway Haha, me neither, nor what the pilot said after landing! Still, felt very exotic as flying on these airlines is very different to a European airline (especially on my other flights where they clapped on landing!)
I've sat and wobbled a display TU-154 outside budapest airport and I've seen plenty around moscow domodedovo. If I have known earlier I could have flown on that flight.
EinkOLED That's a shame, there are still some old Russian jets flying around in some parts of Russia though, I believe you can get a Tu-134 and a Tu-154 in Ufa.
How is it like being onboard the TU-145, because I'm very curious. Great filming there!
+Bogdon Denifre It's an incredible aircraft. I really wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. So smooth, so clean and in fantastic condition inside and out. I was expecting it to be in the same condition of the old Biman DC10 I flew on last year, but was entirely wrong. Very powerful too, great fun taking off and landing! Such a shame that they are so rare these days.
super.
Ok very nice 154,,, Tak off Wonderful... But what is the sense from the long Window Movie...
have flown on one of these to Bulgaria in the eighties in a storm wow
Lucky! Incredible aircraft :)
2.26.00 start a descent
Да уж... Самолет "из тех самых времен".
Но громкий и трясучий.
За видео спасибо. Кстати, они до сих пор в БелАвиа работают, эти птицы?
I flew on one from Moscow to Brazzaville. Interesting plane.
That sounds like great fun, was it direct or did you have to refuel?
It was in 1992, and we refueled in Malta!
That's awesome. My first ever flight was in '92. Still remember it like yesterday. Heathrow to Moscow on a brand new BA 767. Could have flown on an IL-86 but the school wanted to play it safe and send us on BA over Aeroflot! Still bitter to this day!
Was not aware that I was together with a Celebrity on board the same flight. And even me on the video... filming the wing tip from 1:19 until 3:24 and then 3:12:07 🙂
très belle machine ! les gens ont beaucoup de préjugé sur les avion russe alors qu'il n'y connaisse absolument rien ! ce son des avions très robuste avec des formes peu communes mais ce son des avions qui ont connu dans leur existence beaucoup moins de crash que nos amis les Boeing et Airbus !!
très belle vidéo :) j'aimerais beaucoup prendre un de ces avions avant qu'il n'y en ait plus !
+lorent daroti Je dois dire, le Tupolev était plus lisse, plus silencieux et plus confortable que tout Boeing ou Airbus je volé sur tous les! Vraiment un bel avion et j'espère que je peux voler sur un autre avant qu'ils ne soient tous à la retraite!
you where lucky here with real plane seats, I took one with simple tubing
and fabrics seats
+Isaac OLEG They were very comfortable - the new leather seats look nicer but they aren't very comfortable!
I love these planes! I hope I can fly on one by some marricle.
Me too, I'd love to fly on one again it was a wonderful experience.
Nice :-)
scotrail82 Thanks :)
Tu154... loved the flights from Moscow to Ulanbator when i was smaller.
to all the critics, the tu154 had the same crash statistics as the B737 early variants.
And both were killed by bad maintenance or human errors, the only difference is, that most people cant remember the days of 727s 737earlys, A300s and '10s and even the 747earlys.
Aircrafts were loud and heavy! for me as someone who flew 26years almost every year from germany to mongolia via moscow, beijing or even moscow-irkutsk, the TU154 is part of my experience in aviation as a pax!
it seems that some people dont have that experience because western airlines modernized their fleet faster than former soviet countrys and therefore compare their T7s and A340s with a TU154 which isnt fair!
+drFu Manchu Yep, absolutely agree! Those Tups are solid pieces of kit, still flying after 20 odd years whereas a lot of western types are retired after just a few years. The safety issues are all down to the operators, hence why we are starting to see a lot of accidents with western types, all in places with poor maintenance and procedures. You are very lucky to have flown on so many Tu154s :)
спасибо
Пожалуйста!
Du hast Mut!
+Sebastian Becker Für die Tupolev oder für einen Besuch in Belarus? ;-)
inflight Video Nach Belarus möchte ich selbst gerne mal reisen - deswegen bin ich auch auf Dein Video gestossen. Aber in die Tupolev bekämen mich wohl keine 10. Pferde (auch wenn ich andererseits fast ein Bisschen neidisch bin auf die sicherlich abenteuerliche Erfahrung!).
haunts me always as the plane those children lost their lives on way to Spain 😢
For sure. Very sad :(
It's amazing how much it looks identical to western planes inside. I mean EVERYTHING is about identical.
❤❤❤❤❤
It sounds like this airplane has three engines. What a sound! I remember flying in the DC8, DC9, DC7-B and the Tristar. Incredible planes, and I loved the sounds of those engines. Today's planes seem to have much larger engines, so the RPM is slower. Now this is coming from someone who's blind, but I always felt it more in the smaller planes. I love jets so much more than turboprops and single engine airplanes. I also know I'm a lot safer. In your opinion, what's the best and safest aircraft?
Heather stubbs Hey, hope you enjoyed the video! Yep this is a 25 year old Russian tri-jet. I love the engine noise from rear-engined jets as you get less of the rumble and more of the music! To be honest, I don't really see any particular aircraft types as being safe/unsafe, they are all safe when operated correctly. It's more to do with the the airline than the aircraft type. Meant to ask you, did you find the sound quality any better on this video than my previous ones? I am using a different mount now that doesn't obscure the microphone as much.
inflight Video Yes, it was a vit better. Thank you so much! It's still not wide open like surround sound, but it's getting there. I love the whine of those engines. It's too bad we don't get to hear that much more, although I live right in the flight path of PDK Airport here in Atlanta. (It's the call letters for Peachtree-DeKalb Airport, and they have a lot of private and corporate jets that fly in and out of there everyday. I love to go there and just sit at one of the picnic tables right by the fense by the runway where they takeoff and land. You can also listen to ATC right there if you have a scanner. The airport also features biplane trips to several different locations outside Atlanta, and there are some fantastic WWII military airplanes that the airport offers group tours with short flights to and from a few locations. I believe one of those is to Lake Lanear and back for a day-long get together. They're very popular, and I believe there's a waiting list for reservations. Then there are the airshows every year from PDK and Dobbins Airforce Base in Cobb County about half an hour away. One of those is Wings Over Atlanta, and it's always a huge success. Atlanta also has 2 other airports. There's Charly Brown and Brisco Airfield which is expanding in to another airport similar to PDKA. Late in the evening, I can hear some of those corporate jets coming in for a landing at PDK, and some of those sound similar to the older jets of yesteryear. It's all tons of fun!
Heather stubbs Thank you, I am looking at upgrading the camera too at some point to the new GoPro so that may improve it further. I love Atlanta. Georgia is my favourite place in the USA and I have been there several times. Such a beautiful place and lovely people. Flown into ATL a couple of times, and drove up to Valdosta and across to Waycross and the coast last year. Wonderful place!
How comfortable is the seat?. I'm looking into a tour that has the Tu-154 chartered from MSQ - FNJ its 10hr 30 min overnight flight with scheduled fuel stop.
+Poley King Well it was better than a lot of more modern seat designs, but I still think you'd get a sore backside on such a long flight haha :) I've seen that tour advertised and it would be a cool experience!
I was thinking that part of the tour would be a skipper
+Poley King It would be a fantastic experience, grueling but would be a good experience all the same :)
I really want to go on a very old 1960s-1970s plane like that. Too bad all the airlines in the United States retired them. You can only ride planes like that in Europe and in other countries. Hopefully one of these days I'll get to film a vintage plane from the 70s.
It's a shame there aren't too many flying these days. You are lucky to still have the old Mad Dogs for now in the US, even here in Europe we have mostly Airbus and Boeing these days. You can find Twin Otters and other turboprops like that but you have to hunt them down :(
What was with the cameraman at the beginning of the video before take-off?
+Tim Alcoser This was the last ever scheduled Tupolev 154 flight into Europe. They had TV crews onboard and the entire flight was full of aviation enthusiasts! We made the national TV news in Belarus that evening :)
inflight Video Awesome! Now that is cool!
I haven't heard screaming like that since riding in the back of a U.S. Airways BAC 1-11 about 36 years ago. LOL
Ту - 154 отличный самолет! Самый скоростной в своем классе.
Это прекрасный самолет.
Had to come here for my TU154 engine noise fix
Does anybody know if these planes contain asbestos materials?
As far as i know still the fastest passenger aircraft in service!
+Altenholz It's a very powerful aircraft. Was amazed that we were cruising at FL380 too, for some reason didn't think the Tu154 could cruise that high!
Speed is Tu-154's bless and curse. It's really the fastest passenger jet in service, but it consumes 1.5 times more fuel than a320, and it's very hard and dangerous to fly that thing on low speeds. See Pulkovo Airlines Flight 612, Aeroflot Flight 7425 and Vladivostok Air Flight 352.
Нужно воспользоваться тем,что живу в Минске и полетать на ту 154 еше раз ,ил успел застать и 96 и 86 на ту шка 134 и 154 летал,но хочу еще на 154 полетать,там один запах чего стоит)
+Василий Дворининов Красота! Это здорово, Ту-154 был мой первый русский струи. Я хотел бы, чтобы летать на Ил-86.
inflight Video Уверен Вам понравилось бы летать на ил 86! Чувствуется такая мощь и он огромный)
+Василий Дворининов Конечно!
My flight to Russia in 1993 was on a tri-jet....but it was a Delta L-1011. Would have liked to have flown Aeroflot, but it was not to be....
+indyracingnut That's awesome, I was in Russia in '92 but on a 767. I would have loved to have flown on an L-1011 but sadly never had the chance :( One of my all time favourite airliners.
inflight Video I am shocked to see you say that if you look at how many disasters Aeroflot's flights have sometimes turned into
no word description, but better than no this flim
+陳小明 Thank you so much!
How can you admire the outdated Soviet aircraft?
Not the climb rate I'm used to but I'd love to fly with the TU154 ;)
Yep it is a pretty sluggish climber, but very smooth, much more so than most western types I've flown on (the 787 possibly excepted).
154's dont have good climb performance, do they?
