More on Tupolev Tu-154
Description from Wikipedia:
The Tupolev Tu-154 (Russian: Туполев Ту-154) is a Soviet medium-range trijet airliner similar to the Boeing 727. The mainstay of Russian airlines for several decades, the Tu-154 has carried about half of all passengers flown by Aeroflot and its subsidiaries, or approximately 137 million passengers per year, and has been exported and operated by at least 17 foreign airlines. It remains the standard airliner for domestic routes in Russia and other states of the former Soviet Union, and to a lesser extent in eastern Europe. Designed to cope with unpaved and gravel airfields, the plane often operates in extreme Arctic conditions.
