      Unfortunately, quite the opposite is true. Even this unique plane was abandoned since the beginning of 1980s and was mostly cannibalized in 1990s, and only volunteers could save it. Yes, the number of volunteers is growing but there's still too few of them and the government does close to nothing to prevent Russian historic legacy from decaying. Buran shuttles, old churches in rural regions, thousands of buildings of XIX century are being scrapped, torn down or just decay in rot, just take for example the destruction of two Tupolev-114 monuments (there were only 31 planes of this type ever produced).

    I got to see it’s European brother, the Concorde in Seattle. I hope I one day get to see this magnificent bird in person.

      I also saw the Concord in Seattle, unfortunately all the seats were encased in a big plastic sarcophagus, making the experience with the plane a bit less persona. l

    Great video and great memories. Last year when I was at Monino they wouldn't allow us to get near the plane, still incredible sights. After visiting Sinsheim, next is Zhukovsky and then Samara.

    Came to watch your video of the TU-144... the nose drop was a very nice and unexpected treat! I had always wanted to see these in action on the TU-144. Well captured sir. Many good videos and lots of subscribers to you Sky!

    Greaaaat video man! A nice feature you mentioned are the coloured seats, wich actually, were very common in the 70's, for example in DC10's. Such an incredible airframe. Greetings from México

      True. But there was a practical reason. It would help you find your seat when returning from the Toilet! ;)

    This is a great narrative for a Soviet flying machined that was simply inaccessible back in its days of glory. Thank you for producing this piece.

    Truly amazing and thank you for bringing it to us. One thing, whilst there are allegations of Concordski being a clone of Concorde, one thing that didn't 'migrate' was the computer program controlling the inlet ducts so the USSR version could not fly so economically.

    man I am jealous... I want to go there.. One of my fav trips was to the Chinese Aviation Museum outside Beijing. Some of the planes were on display in an underground bunker!

    I saw this remarkable bird at the Paris Airshow in 1975. I was ten, and this aircraft was quite impressive to me. I always liked it over the Concord. It looked fast when standing still. Above all, it is a cool work of art.

    I'm impressed as much with the plane as with the idea that there was a luxury class and a tourist class, and that people flew supersonic between Soviet cities. Do you have any information on what it was like to fly on one, what it cost or how you got a seat, etc?

  • @daapz

    Very interesting look into what I consider one of the most, if not THE most interesting Soviet plane.
    How much of the plane was functional? Did it run on auxliary power or did it have a working APU unit?
    Also, it was cool to finally see the face behind the voice of my nowdays favorite series of plane videos!

    Very Interesting Sky, thanks for sharing! Whenever I’m older and get a chance to visit Russia I’ll definitely stop by this museum and take a look! I bet the Tupolev TU-144 is also there. And it was a pleasure for you to informally introduce yourself to us in person!

    It is really great to have insight information on the plane in English; I watched a Russian documentary with the engineers eventhough I fail to understand them. This at least gives some insights I didn't know. Thank you!!
