Tupolev-144
Was in Ulyanvosk for work 2 weeks ago, and while leaving the airport grounds, drove past a small avaition museum park.
Antonov 22's, tupolev's and Yak's, but to my surprise, there in the middle is a Tupolev-144!....
I thought there was only 2 inexistence left (germany and the US). but was gladly proved wrong!......unfortunately did not have my camera with me, but colleagues who work in that part of the world are forwarding pics to me.
Does any one know how many of the original 17 are left and where they are?

Friday afternoon, got me interested, not a lot to do so off I went...
www.airlinerlist.com
seems to illustrate the following:
Single examples to be found at: Monino, Samara, Vornezh, Ulyanovsk and Sinsheim.
At least five examples seem to be or have been at Zhukovsky, as of last reports. Surely there is a spotter around who can confirm or deny this. This number includes the Tu 144LL operated with NASA.

Sorry, thought that since NASA had it, thought it had been in US.

Kazakhstan.

That must be the one I saw.
