I was searching for incoming KEWR flights on Flightradar24 and saw a random flight from the Russian Air Force (not into Newark).

I don't know how to screen shot, sorry for the crappy quality.

How weird is this?

A Rossiya Tu-204 doing big circles over the motherland at 30k is what it looks like. Strange.

It could be a test flight of the tu-204 spy version

Spy stealth fail.


actually that's a win. Those Russian planes are so ugly to begin with, I doubt anyone would suspect a thing.

there is a brutal beauty about them, I have shared the ramp and sky with everything from the AN12 to the AN124, Rossiya has its many issues,but they can certainly create some quality freighters !!!

Didn't even think of that, thanks- FAA brings their convairs to PHL to test the ILS
