Was wondering... what are Tupolevs, or Ilyushins , like to fly compared to Boeings and Airbuses? From the pilot's point of view, I mean?
I've met and spoken with a number of Russian pilots mainly of Tu134s and Tu154s. Several have said that the aircraft are "very aerodynamic", "good design", but I wondered how they actually compare with Western aircraft to fly.
