      "one of the world's last Ilyushin IL-96".
      I think the author mistook it for IL-86. Actually IL-96 is relatively new - introduced in 1992, still produced, still in use and there hasn't been a single accident involving IL-96. Not a single casualty in almost 30 years of operations.

    Another thing I am glad for is that clapping after landing didn't die out for Cuba. I believe that even though pilots may not hear it, it's a way to thank all the crew that took care of the passengers (mainly flight attendants).

    Interesting to see a quite recent flight on a Soviet/Russian aircraft. At one time I used to fly pretty regularly on a smaller Soviet aircraft the Tupolev 134 between Hanoi & Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in Vietnam, where I lived for a few years in the early-mid 1990s, I believe most of these aircraft then in use in Vietnam had been acquired from Interflug, the East German airline, when East Germany was absorbed into West Germany to form today’s Germany. They were reputed to be better maintained than aircraft acquired from the USSR. They were comfortable enough to fly in with notably shallow lengthy and smooth takeoffs & landings, with the cabin becoming foggy with water vapour from the air vents, specially at takeoff, but their somewhat patchy safety record did give one pause.
