Yep, however.....

I also liked the Turkm........./Saudia re-enactment with the accurate altimetre. They went down to 4,500ft on a QNH/QFE of 1020 on the 'accurate film dramatisation' whilst they were supposed to be mistakenly descending below FL150. (Yes I know this is below FL150)

Could someone with the former Soviet aircraft experience tell me, do these aircraft have metric or US imperial instruments? I thought in the former Soviet Union, all aircraft built there had metric instruments. Another Factor? Not to mention a few others I heard from unofficial sources in the middle east at the time.

On the plus side, a forecast of air travel doubling by 2020 is good news for jobs!
