Interested to hear how that happened - domestic travel within the USSR or post Soviet Russia?
Anyone flown as pax/observer on any Russian military kit?
My experience with Russian aircrafts comes from extensive domestic travel in China 1991 to 96. I flew Xinjiang Airlines Il-86 Beijing-Urumchi/return. Interesting aircraft, enetered via airstairs at the bottom, room for luggage in the basement and up some stairs to the cabin. The seatbacks in front of you were fitted with fans which you could turn on at your convenience.
For the remaining types/trips I would have to dig out my collection of boarding cards, too lazy I'm afraid.
