Yak 141 Farnborough 1992

A famous saying in the airline industry – if you want to make a small fortune start with a large one
Where does it say in the ITAR regs that aircraft have to be destroyed and cannot be used as instructional airframes? Yes, they can’t be sold on without a US export license but surely continued use in an instructional role by an air force that currently operates them is within the regs?
I’m surprised about the reference to the sale of one of the Illustrrious class as being ‘an old through deck cruiser’. I wouldn’t have said it was that old. Remember that other vessels were due to be sold off to Chile as well prior to the conflict.

These people got 200-250 kilograms of gold for defecting with an aircraft?
The case echoes another in Greece in 2000 in which local authorities jailed a group of 12 British planespotters after they were arrested at an air force day function.

Not forgetting the fact that the group also included three Dutch spotters
I am also reminded about the lower deck on the IL-86
Doesn’t ICAO publish a manual of standard terminology?
Air Salvage International
That’s an interesting array of bits spewing out of the engine there…:eek:
Having just watched the video I hate to say it but the best bit for me was seeing the T-33 chase plane. Was one of the Skyfox variety or just a plain T-33?
Am I missing something?
How can Aeroflot and various other russian carriers be allowed so many services into Germany and Austria if the national carriers of those countries have limitations placed on them if they want to fly into russia?
Surely something like this has to work both ways, no?
It’s all to do with inter governmental bilateral air service agreements (where they still exist) which specify which particular carriers of the countries involved are allowed to operate. Is Austrian Airlines still an Austrian owned carrier? Presumably not, therefore the Russians have a point.
I’m surprised no-one has yet mentioned Sheremetievo-2 as being awful.
