Hi all,

made a trip to Vienna and Bratislava yesterday. The main reason was to catch Medvedev arriving in Bratislava.

Hope you like the pictures.

Beautiful Russian planes, thanks for sharing.

Arkia totally destroyed their livery. That's awful, hopefully that paintscheme doesn't make it to the 757s.

Really neat stuff, Keishi! We so rarely get to see Russian iron, it's always a welcome addition!

Tu-154, Il-62 and Il-96 in one day... I'M IMMENSELY JEALOUS!!


question, is ROSSYA a state-run airline or just a government livery?

It started out as an airline for government transport but now it also flies as a regular airline (regular pax division have a Russian flag on tail like that IL-96 which carries it despite being a VIP plane). Ironically good 'ol USSR pride Aeroflot is the one which will be privatized.

I believe Rossiya retired the last TU-154s recently, so the regular passenger aircraft are flown with western Boeings and Airbii (yawn)
