Such a beautiful aircraft. Western media always tries to portray fictional Soviet machinery as boxy and ugly, but when you look at actual designs it’s all flowing lines and style
I’ve been in one of these. They’re really nice. The interior looks a bit dated but that’s to be expected.
I’d imagine the interior of contemporary western airplanes would also look dated without a do-over
I first saw one in a 70s Soviet movie – can’t remember the name – about a Georgian bush pilot who dreams of flying a Tu-144. After knocking around Moscow for a while with an Armenian friend, he gets his dream, but decides he misses home and so goes back to his old job. Just a good heartwarming movie.
Anyway, it’s an absolutely beautiful aircraft. Seeing it on the ground almost makes you do a double-take, because it looks like something whose native habitat is the air.
You’re probably thinking of Mimino
Yep, that’s it! May watch again with my brother tonight.
