Just put on CNN.com a little over an hour ago. A UTAir TU-134 tried landing in thick fog at Samara, wing hit the runway and the aircraft broke up. 7 dead 51 injured...plane only carrying 63 including the crew. Seems like theres been a lot of Russian aircraft go down, especialy TU-134s and TU-154s, doesnt help their safety record any...even if it was pilot error Undecided

Alas many of the Russian planes don't have the same kind of electronic wizardry that you find in newer Western planes. This can only lead to trouble Cry

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

And when they do, it does not seem to make much difference...................A 320 and a 310 last year. Not exactly lacking in the wonder of black magic boxes Cry

Just think of the weather conditions that they fly in though? For not having to much wizardry as Western jets they don't do a bad job, but just some times im affraid... sh*t happens... Sad

Design is prone to deep stall, likes to drop its rear at low speeds... basically needs skilled pilot when something goes wrong on approach

And given that it's a 134A it doesnt have the engine power that the Tu-134A-3 has, so less breathing room
