Thumbs up

I've done a cockpit jumpseat flight (not being a pilot by the way). Indeed it's EFIS but still has a F/E panel (more for employment reasons than technical..). No GPS but 3 INS. Very nice aircraft indeed, operated in cargo configuration with a 3crew cockpit, and additional mechanics (2) and load master, all russian nationals. The rep told me that the cockpit can be configured for english (=not russians) crews without any russian lettering, and of course western engines. . .Very good dispatch reliability. If a company succeed to have it certified under a western AOC, it will be a great seller.
