earwig oh again...

They used to say that landing a Beverley was like driving a London bus from upstairs in the last row of seats. Add a bit of weight and a bit of size and a bottle of Vodka and........ I guess the moral of this story is never to fly an Alcohol while under the influence of Antonov!

Seriously though... here we all laugh but it belongs in the ever growing catalogue of alcohol abuse further up this page.

Now if

This story were any EU, US or 'other agreed ok airline' lets see how it would look.
Security nazis, etc!
Look at the sticky, ref alcoholic pilots, yet some here jest, just coz it is russian. Please.
Flying through your airspace, wanna joke as you meet it head on.
Alcohol and flying do not gel, same rule world wide. period.
One rule for the family, remove the sticky or stop taking the piss, same rules apply aloft, realy is your choice.
