Most of the people here seems to live in the West, so I figured it might be an interesting question.

I've never been on a Russian aircraft.

Not only been on, but jumped out of, and logged some 'unofficial' stick time at the local parachute club! All on my favourite flying junk pile the AN-2!

AN-2 Colt...which will probably be the plane of choice for most "Yes" answers.

They were still flying the 134s at that time Bjorn, so yup you've been there and done that. They started buying Boeings in '96 I think. They still have 2 134s in service (but I've never managed to get a flight on one) Sad

I should have been more specific. Vote "yes" (past this point) if you been in a Russian aircraft in flight.

The open house was a big disappointment. We waited an hour before we were told that none of the planes for the open house were there due to IFR conditions and that it would be another hour til the weather cleared. While standing there a lady came up to me and told me that my 4 year old would not be able to go for a ride in a plane due to his age. I was not a happy camper and it ruined my fathers day Angry

That's a cool aircraft, did you do aerobatics in it too?
It's one of the few GA aircraft which can do aerobatics with 4 people in it

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here
