    I went to the Soviet Union for two weeks (Moscow, Kyiv, & Leningrad, now St. Petersburg) as a college student in June/July 1976 (spent the Bicentennial in Moscow, lol.) I've flown a lot in my life, but the most terrifying flight I was ever on was the flight from Moscow to Kyiv on Aeroflot. The pilot must've had a flashback to when he was in the Red Army flying against the Luftwaffe because I've never had such a steep, fast landing. A guy sitting next to me remarked, in very broken English, "I hope there's an airport down there..." Luckily, there was. Utterly terrifying. It's the only time I ever considered kissing the ground after landing. Good times.

    Hi Sam
    Regarding the magnificent Tu-134. I live in Eastern Australia and had the enormous privilidge of visiting Moscow and Leningrad/St Petersburg in the winter, in 1992 in the months after the fall of the Soviet Union. Temperatures were -35C and the airports I landed in were populated by large numbers of Aeroflot passenger aircraft in rows painted in white and blue and which I vieiwed contrasted against white winter snow. I had just flown from Singapore to Moscow via Dehli and the UAE in one wide bodied Aeroflot Il-86 when I first saw these sights.
    I boarded a very cool looking white and blue Aeroflot Tu-134 lfor a flight from Moscow to London late one morning on a tarmc contrasting with the surrounding snow and my seat window was the rearmost beside the right engine. The pilot kept the breaks on until the engine was running at full thrust before he releasted them for what was a very short run and really steep climb at high speed. This take-off is the most exciting I believe I will ever experience, and I take every effort I can to fly in anything big or small! When we reached England, we followed the River Thames to London at medium/low altitude and the view was as magnificent as that fighter like jet flight.
    From that experience I know the Tu-134 is a gun... really! I appreciate very much the way you presented the Tu-134 aircraft here in your excellent video and I also have warm and vibrant memories of some of the other aircraft.
    Cheers. David. Canberra.

We landed at an RAF base. The wing span was so big we couldn’t us the taxi ways, had to stay on the runway and this was a C130 base! Great video thanks.

      @@lol1number Yes, the chain is not as effective, but in a different way than some people think. There is a sudden problem appeared with cracks within hot part of the engine which they did not expect to happen. Because of this problem this part has to be replaced after 2000 hours instead of planned 8000 hours. They (Safran) simply has no possibility to build this part in sufficient numbers - 4 times more than expected. Every time it takes 2 month and 5000000 USD to replace this part. As soon as they redesighn this engine or build enough spare parts the plane will demonstrate its best. Even now she is still profitable.

    My first flight to Russia (San Francisco to Sverdlovsk via Khabarovsk) was in 1992, up in the back of the AN-124. In the 5 years I lived there I flew on just about every Russian airliner from the Yak-40 to the IL-86 and most everything in between. Every flight was "interesting" to say the least. Flying a Yak-40 from Vladivostok to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk they loaded the passengers, and then loaded the center isle with car tires......and on that same route later, in a TU -154, I was invited to ride "up front" in the cockpit jump seat and served vodka from an open bottle stored behind the co-pilots seat. Oh yes, I have many more such stories!!

    I was very fortunate to see An-225 parked at Santiago de Chile as I flew in from the Easter Island in November 2016. Our LATAM 787 (first 787 for South America) was taxied to the apron and parked in perfect location for photoshooting. Several of passengers, including me and ground crew, were so livid and ignored the ground staff's command to board the bus right away. We stood on the ground (no pun intended) in awe of the majestic plane as the sun rose behind us. Eventually, the ground staff started to herd us to the bus.

    I have to agree, there were a number of Russian planes that were operating for much longer than one would have considered, but doing so very well.
    When it comes to landing there is a saying in Russia if you are flying anywhere, its " Have a soft landing" and i cannot forget the fact that in fact people clap on landing !
    The aircraft were well built and rugged, they could take a beating on a rather badly kept runway.
    One thing that still amazes me is there is an aircraft that is still flying despite its age and can be found on or around most airfields.,
    Its used for sky diving from in many places and is a byplane single engine that is still cloth covered wings, i cannot forvthevlifevof me remember the name of this plane, but i have seen them all over the place still flying.
    Rough runways are not uncommon and even fight bases are likely to have weeds growing up on them, the fighters are in fact equiped with grattings that are employed on take of and landing so that nothing g oes in the intakes, which beats hhaving to walk the runway before flying starts in case thetes a little stone or something, it also means that most Russian aircraft could use a road if it had to.
    I found the aircrew were very pleasant and cheerful people on every plane i have flown on and nothing seems too much trouble to them.
    I look at todays atitude towards Russia and wonder just where thevwestern world gets off with its bad mouthing this country who have never done anything to a western country to be treated so badly, i put a lot down to American propaganda in the cold war period, and it seems that they just cannot accept that there is a country just as big and powerful as they are which in their eyes should not be, but having been both places I can say that out of the two Russia is a lot more friendly and outgoing, and i think everyone should go there at least once in their lives to see just how big it really is, and to see for themselves just what the average Russian is like, besides, there is so much to see and so much history in the place and most westerners could not tell you what the first capital of Russia is called.
    Today it changes every time my wife and i go there everything is being made very modern but still retains its history, it makes for a great holiday.
