Amazing quality for the picture of that age. | |
This is the airplane, the second of the TU-144, produced commercially, Number USSR-77 102, which crashed June 3, 1973 at Le Bourget. Died: Honored Test Pilot of the USSR, Kozlov MV, test pilot Molchanov, VM, aeronavigator Bazhenov GN, deputy chief designer, engineer, Maj. Gen. Benders VN, chief engineer Pervukhin BA ., flight engineer Dralin AI. Eternal memory | |
It's not as graceful as a Concorde, but it's beautiful nonetheless. Too bad this plane's life was cut short by the crash. | |
Wow! Truly a science fiction space ship. A gorgeous work of art. Russian designers have a great eye for beauty. I hope this isn't the one that crashed. | |
It is so sad... So much nonsense, envy and all of it in one person. | |
Nobody wants to fly on Russian airplanes... hence why it never made it in the commercial sector... or any sector but the 'historical aircraft that failed miserably' category | |
Wonderful portrait of a beautiful bird. But...like the Concorde, the product of a very big ego trip. Very mixed emotions when I see these. | |
Better looking bird than any current jetliner being flown (and produced) today. | |
Tupolev Tu-144 (first flight - 31 December 1968). Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde (first flight - 2 March 1969). Tupolev looks better, flied up earlier... I think it is not necessary to name it Concorde. More likely the Concorde is the Tupolev. The amazing plane, has outrun both: the time and the competitor. The picture is simply a treasure. | |
Top airplane of the U.S.S.R. ! | |
Nice like concorde.for sharing five stars | |
