Took this guy for a test flight from Moscow- Warsaw a little while ago-- I never flew a Russian bird like this so it was a different experience.

nice bird might check that one out! My hanger is full of different aircraft. The only russian bird I have is a Sukoih su-34 super flanker fighter jet

I dont think so...sometimes it looks very impressive in some angles....specially with this new metalic paint scheme. Great shots Steve.

But compared to more "classical" russian airliners, it looks too "western".
