Walking around Russian planes

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I am back from 2 weeks hardcore European spotting trip.

Russian planes rock my heart at anywhere B) Sharing some pics with you.

 

First step day1:20JUL

to MOCKBA(Moscow).... which airline did I choose?

Hehehe of course flew "Gaan Bin Thai and Star Alliance" from Krung Thep...

Anyone phuut Thai nit naawy here? :p

 

Here is some A340-600 cabin shots.

I had good sleep onboard Royal Silk Class 8hrs 50mins flight to Domodedovo.

Perhaps this route will be replace to 772ER soon :(

 

Very strange route for TG who are flying BKK-DME? poor load 15PAX in C.

IPB Image

 

Similar to TK's Malaysian777 which one is better to sleep? hehehe:P

IPB Image

 

Powerful boy Trent500 looks better than GE90.

IPB Image

 

"Smooth as silk" even if economy it is better than Emperor JK's Lufthansa 346.

IPB Image

 

Meal spotting...

 

1st serving...Thai style hot snack fish cake.

IPB Image

 

appetizer marinated salmon and green salad

Wow, beautiful shots, even on-the-air shots are crisp and clear Yukihiro! Does your hand come with Image Stabilizer? :D

 

The main course served looked like they nicked it from the Y class...it's not even served on proper plates!

 

So any more pictures from your 'haul' there? Can't wait! ;)

TG A346 Y Class looks very nice & spacious. :good:

 

However I really have to agree the C Class main course looks exactly like Y Class meal. :o

Hi YK...

 

There's nothing to compare between Thai C class seat and MH 777 C class seats!!!

when you were on my flight...you slept 80% of the flight anyway!!! ha ha ha :D

 

welcome home...More selections to come i guess...will be waiting, enjoy editing!

Hey YK, you made it home!

 

Hi YK...

 

There's nothing to compare between Thai C class seat and MH 777 C class seats!!!

when you were on my flight...you slept 80% of the flight anyway!!! ha ha ha :D

 

 

let's see... MH 777 has much more leg room (not 744 though), ptv on armrest, so armrest a bit lopsided, also MH seats slightly flatter I think?

 

but Y class on Thai has much bigger ptv screens! And the main course really looks like it came from Y class.

 

this is going to be a long thread....

Some more take off from evening Domodedovo.

 

UTP and BKK specialist(winter time) showing me quick rotation.

Any one can read Cyrillic? hehehe

IPB Image

 

Russian twin engines for long haul :bad:

IPB Image

 

Western twin engines :bad: :bad:

Finally sun is almost gone at 915pm but still can try spotting ISO400+IS+photoshop :p

IPB Image

 

 

Pieter,

Yes nice ride Tu-134 :lol:

 

Azman,

MH is slightly flatter...

Yes I think so too that the reason why I had better sleep onbaord TK's MH71 last time at least 3hrs.

Pitch...no big difference unsure for seat width.

Bring a measure to check actual pitch and width next time.

Not only for food disappointed TG's new AVOD system too.

No update music onboard since last year... Flew 346 5 times since Sep/05 but always same music program...

 

I believe TG is fresh for MW guys. Compare with usual MH please!

Day2: 21JUL We had one day return trip to Nizhny Novgorod (GOJ/UWGG).

 

Flying Tatarstan Tu-134 from Domodedovo(DME) to N.Novgorod(GOJ).

My first ride for Russian planes. B) Nice nose... navigator window still can be seen.

IPB Image

 

Onboard classic Tupolev.

IPB Image

 

Lining up Runway 32C(used to be taxi way of 32L) that is temporary opend as RWY during 32L is in under construction.

45m width and TORA is 2600m but no worry Tu-134 is powerful boy.

IPB Image

 

Cabin is quiet no difference with Western Jets. Perhaps better than Orient Thai classics.

25spotters onboard hehehe click time... :p TK, can you see John???

IPB Image

 

Russian in flight service. Sure free of charge. :p

IPB Image

 

Russian seat can recline to forward. Nice idea to use it as foot rest.

IPB Image

 

Tupolev flaps.

IPB Image

 

Arrived GOJ safely looks s#1t airport can feel Soviet taste.

IPB Image

 

After arriving of course we had some ramp photography.

Is it going to be MX or broken up? no movements around.

IPB Image

 

Our Tu-134 is going to have rest after arriving.

IPB Image

 

First time to see An-30 in my life. Nice shape!

IPB Image

 

AYZ...their IL86 is HKT specialist some time like me but Tu-154b2 looks bad.

Stored in junk area. Looks her life is finished.

IPB Image

 

VDA pax... An-124 is popular but Yak-40...must be rare I think?

IPB Image

 

continue...

 

Gavin,

 

Yes all action shots from my room on 4th floor of Aerotel Domodedovo. Nice hotel. :D
