BTW, what do you guys think of Tu-204? It is a new aircraft from Tupolev. I presonally don't really like it. I am not a fan of Tupolev, beside there are barely any of the here in North America, Cubana ownsTu-154's and that's pretty much it. Althought I do like Tu-154, that's the only aircraft from Tupolev tha I like. Also is it true that Tu-204 is a 757 competitor? If so I am on 757 side! Wink

A quick internet search reveals the TU-154 entered service in 1972 the 727 in 1964. I'll leave it up to you to decide if one was copied from the other... But you might consider the DC3 and the "russian" version LI-2.

If it's not a boeing I'm not going.... Grin

Li-2 is a remanufactured DC-3, it's a little larger and has lower engine power (1000Hp engines, same as the An-2)

The Tu-154 is an enlarged Tu-134 (Tu-134 with 3 of everything it has 2 of) . It can land in 1 meter snow and survives belly landings in such a way that you can go around and try again with the gears out. (Link)

Tu-204... 757 competitor. It's made for the russian market with PS-90 engines which have more power than the RR ones. The russian one has more ground clearance too (engines are a little smaller)
TNT cargo has a few RR powered ones

Cubana has the Il-62, they fly to canada with it. Long-range aircraft is needed because they aren't allowed to go through US airspace

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

Probably flies to other destinations...

It's a -B2 model, not that much range (3500 km or so) compared to the ilyushin.
Makes the pilots feel a little safer (fuel indicators not too close to the red section)

What are your opinion on Tu-154 and Il-86? I have flown Tu-154 but never flown Il-86. I think it comes to USA sometimes, to San Francisco, not so sure thought. I was always wondering, why is it that Il-86 almost never or at least very rarely come to North America? Are they just not allowed by the US or Canadian government?
