VIDEO: Tu-154 struggles against in-flight oscillation

Extraordinary video images have emerged of a Tupolev Tu-154 apparently suffering serious in-flight oscillations shortly after departing from an air base in Moscow.

etcetera…

Vodka powered? Otherwise I take my hat off to the crew, they must have cr@pped themselves. Looks like the guy with the camera also had a stability problem. Anyway, I bet my new hiking boots that they had a stiff vodka or 20 afterwards.

That is crazy. I would of liked to of seen the actual touchdown. I bet it was hair raising!
They did really well considering the circumstances.

Breathtaking Tu154 footage

Video showing Tu154 with severe oscillation/control problems, on maiden flight following long term storage. Camera work is not ace, but bear with it.

The plane was in conservation for 10 years, this was first flight since. Needless to say, some systems failed….someone give that pilot a medal. 😮
