the c/s on the Balkan TU-154’s isn’t bad at all I think!
It’s a great c/s! Where is Balkan based?

Thanks for the kind comments
I take it the Blue Islandflug has stopped flying in and out of NCL now, or do they use different a/c all the time?
I think we have one based each month,
It’s always better to take photos in nice weather

I’ve been on an Balkan T154; unfortunately I remember very little about it as I was only 5!! That was some 23 years ago!

That looks like a bird strike!? They are noisy, I was on the Greek island of Zante last year and our resort was only about 5-10 mins from the airport so I took a trip up one day and a Slovak Airlines Tu154 took off about 50 feet max.from me you can get really close to the aircraft at Zante and I loved the island itself. 🙂

Cool photos!!! That Sun Express B737 could have a better color scheme 😀
Me and my family went to Varna in Bulgaria last year and we went with BH Air or Balken Holidays Air, we left from BHX and when we got thier i was excited about whether are aircraft was gonna be thier leased (brought now?) A320 or the Tu-154 (how many do they have?) turned out to be the A320 it turns out the Tu-154 left from MAN we would of got to Varna first but we had a delay, we had the A320 on the return flight, wacthed the 154 flight to MAN leave.
“most uncomftable flight we’ve ever had” they said, Has anyone ever been on a Tu-154? 🙂 😀 🙂
