Pyramid Airlines (Air Lines?) Tupolev - help identifying aircraft
Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2017 9:03 am
Hi, I'm a long time reader of these forums, frequent traveller, and airliner fan. This is my first post, please let me know if it's in the wrong place.
Back in 1993, at the age of 12, I went on the holiday of a lifetime to Egypt with my family. One of the many highlights of this trip was a short flight we took from Aswan to Abu Simbel to see the temple of Rameses II. What I remember from this flight was:
- It was operated by Pyramid Airlines (or Air Lines)
- The aircraft was a Tupolev jet, a Tu-134 I think
- I remember it being an incredibly loud and bumpy flight. My brother and I both loved it, but my mum was so terrified she made us adopt the brace position on landing!
I have searched in vain for any meaningful information about this airline and aircraft. Any help in identifying would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
