Having operated into most airports in europe and the USA, I have to state that all Tupolev 134 and some 154 aircraft don't even come close to reaching stage II noise certification. Incredible noise, smoke and if you are unlucky enough to actually do a sector in one, take some ear plugs.

The IL76 still remains the foremost transport aircraft within the Russian boundaries, this is just a superb aircraft. You can see it from miles away on the approach, hear it before you see it, and wow, those kuznetsovs push out some noise.
