Juergen Witte 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2008 I´ll try to get some flights in "rare" aircraft during a weekend in may 2009 Just booked on WIZZAIR DTM-KBP vv. for 87,-EUR incl.Tax - hope you won´t get jealous now Pieter ... Would make it viable for you to bring your wife along on the next trip - if she gets a visa for Ukraine ... DTM is not too far from AMS ( btw. CGN is served, too) WIZZAIR Ukraine just got government approval to start international flights. So, they´re the first LCC to serve Ukraine domestic - and now even european destinations !

She is already enthusiastic after seeing my pictures yes, we saw Wizzair running the KBP-LWO stretches, but preferred the YAK42D on this stretch fares are VERY cheap in the Ukraine (at least when converted to EUR); hope the "Russian" planes still roam around next year, as more and more 737's and EMB145's are delivered nowadays: keep your fingers x-ed do NOT forget to visit this museum at Zhulyany, Juergen - it's a must if you wanna see Russian 'hardware'... is the main gears retract up to the side body? (hope my broken English didn't confused you. ) Yes, they do (similar to Grumman Goose, for instance), so plane can land on the water if needed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted October 12, 2008 KBP pictures and Trip-Report will be posted AFTER my Viet Nam trip, guys, hope you can wait that long OK guys, let's finish this topic with sharing some final Boryspil pictures Two interesting Tupolev TU-154M's during the period of time were these examples of Caspian from Iran and Kolavia from Russia: Was hoping to fly Zaporozhye-Kiyv with this Motor-Sich Antonov AN-24, but it turned out the previously illustrated AN-140: The only 737-200 still operated in the Ukraine, is this example of Aerosvit, but not for long, I was told: Here, the President of Ukraine is seen departing for an official state-visit to Sarkoszy, the President of France: One of the brightest colours on a 737 IMHO is this example in Dniproavia dress: On our rainy departure to Lviv, I was (finally) able to make a picture of this UMAir DC-9-50: Excuse the quality: blurriness was caused by raindrops on the window Watch out for thr TR in the appropriate section soon...
