Nice forum this one. Brings back memories. Flew Aeroflot TU154 from Munich to Moscow back in 1995 now. Yikes. Me and my mates made a b line towards the rear of the aircraft, no specific seats were allocated at check in even then!) and I remember watching a few Russians sitting opposite of us kicking down the seat backs of the empty seats in front and putting their feet up during taxi for departure. Yep, somewhat stupidly we did the same and the heavily made up stewardesses just smiled at us. It was a great fligt and I remember that the landing at Moscow and on return to Munich was very smooth -yet the approach seemed steep. Happy days!
