The only civilian Tu-154 remaining in Russia made its last flight

The only one remaining in the Russian civil aviation Tu-154 of the Alrosa company made its last flight, delivering passengers from the Yakut city of Mirny to Novosibirsk. The press service of the airline reported.

Friends! We are sad to announce the completion of the operation of the only Tu-154 aircraft left in the Russian civil aviation. On Wednesday, October 28, 2020, aircraft hull number RA-85757 will make its final flight. Along with this legendary aircraft, a whole era of domestic aircraft construction is leaving.

- said the company.

In "Alrosa" it was specified that over the past 18 years the plane has flown almost 27,5 thousand hours. According to the general director of the company Andrey Gulov, the Tu-154's airworthiness certificate expires. After landing in Novosibirsk, the plane will remain at Tolmachevo airport, where it will undergo decommissioning and await a decision on its future fate. Last year, Tu-134, which made its last flight, landed in Tolmachevo and was sent to the museum stories aviation "Tolmachevo"

Tu-154 was developed at the Tupolev design bureau. The first flight took place on October 3, 1968, and operation began on February 9, 1972. This is the most massive Soviet medium-range jet passenger aircraft.

Legendary car, but it's time to rest.

[210ox]

The last plane, it seems, was released in 2013, so what about the rest in vain. ALROSA is now in a difficult situation, apparently getting rid of assets.

[K-612-O]

That's right, new ones were ordered by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, civilian aircraft have not been produced for a long time, as soon as 204 and 214 were launched in the USSR

The company is getting rid of old aircraft, for the operation of which additional investments are needed.
And the diamond company is in a difficult situation, well, it's very funny. In the world of instability, stones have ceased to be valued?

[210ox]

Imagine this. The cutting division (factories in Barnaul and Smolensk) did not work from May to the end of August. It's now a three day week. I'm just interested, I spent six years working at the Kristall Production Association in Smolensk after the army.

[vitvit123]

You are absolutely right . ALROSA is having difficult times. The production of artificial diamonds and the pandemic have had a huge impact on sales of products. True, for several months I have not been interested in the affairs of the company, but I think nothing has changed. There was hope for electronic trading and the state guard. I don’t know whether the Gokhran bought products from them or not, but electronic trading, in my opinion, is to maintain the pants .. and the Gokhran is not a business either ..

[210ox]

I feel sorry for the plant from which I started my career. It was the largest enterprise in Europe. Now they have dispersed the old cadres who studied and worked under the assassinated Alexander Shkadov. Now there are alien gravediggers from ALROSA. They were already in charge of Mirny.

By the way, the last batches of Tu-154, as far as we know, were delivered .... To China! And Russian airlines have not bought them for a long time ...

They did not fly to the PRC for long. After two disasters that occurred in 1994 and 1999 through the fault of ground personnel, the Tu-154M was handed over to the PLA Air Force. Various reconnaissance equipment was installed on the aircraft: side-looking radar and passive radio systems. These converted Chinese "carcasses" fly along our eastern borders with enviable regularity. Our peaceful neighbor and strategic partner uses them to determine the positions of air defense systems and radars, and also conducts radio intercepts in the VHF range.

[exo]

Three planes returned to the airport "Pulkovo" (later "Russia"). One of them crashed near Donetsk.

[Real Pilot]

What a pity that the era in aircraft construction is leaving. Glorious era! Memories of this car are the most positive (from the passenger's point of view, of course).

I hope that the next Russian planes will be, and that they will be even better

[volodimer]

Airplane era. For me, they are with IL-62 ... Thanks to them, I visited the Crimea and Odessa, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Minsk and the entire Soviet Baltic region from Vladivostok, and taking into account landings and refueling Tomsk-Omsk-Barnaul-Abakan-Kemerovo-Khabarovsk, which I just remembered ... I was proud of you, your PILOTS, and the head of the "airfield" in Izhma, how you saved the passengers together ... beyond the power.
Now I understand that my flight to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in 2004. was not "extreme", but the last ... Thank you, handsome man, you were my reliable transport throughout my vast Motherland ... Now you are leaving, my wonderful memory of that country that no longer exists.

[Vladimir Mashkov]

Farewell, legend of Tu-154! A lot, and I flew on it as a passenger. I don't know if it seemed to me, if it really was, but the climb and descent on the Il-62 is still more pleasant.

[volodimer]

I agree, Tu is picking up in jerks, as he climbs the stairs.

[Alex Justice]

The IL-14 was nothing. Candy was given on takeoff :)

[keeper03]

No no and one more time no!!!
Peace in our position means death!
Very beautiful, reliable, classic "car" !!!
We need to resume production using modern materials!

[Vladimir Mashkov]

Alexandru, 18.09
... the engines should be replaced with more powerful, quieter and more economical ones, their number reduced, the design and passenger comfort improved ... Yes, but that will be a DIFFERENT aircraft! And it will be called MS-21 or ...

Yes, Aleksey .. that great past is leaving us together with the TU-154, which we were proud of and are still proud of .. Not many countries in the world could afford to produce high-tech products on their territory. The USSR could boast of this ... and not only this ...

[Lexus]

The USSR just presented it. Boasting from scratch is already Russian.

[Terrible_L.]

A beautiful bird, swift. Now in the sky, as well as on earth, the dominance of the fast food generation: plump and clumsy sun ...

[tralflot1832]

Well, now it's history. Wherever I flew on it as a passenger, the extreme point of Windhoek (Namibia) And when they do something similar to it in terms of roominess and range and of course the number of sides in the series. Thank you, time is not forever, unfortunately. I hope will be saved !?

[tralflot1832]

And this is the only plane when the pilots gave it to "steer", an unforgettable experience for a lifetime!

Learn from Soviet engineers and managers, modern managers

"The USSR made only galoshes, which nobody needed." Vladimir Putin

“As for Sechin, I don’t know, but I know that employees of our large companies receive very solid money. But we must look at their salary level not in comparison with these earnings in the country, although we must bear this in mind, but see how their colleagues in the same world corporations get it. It will work. It works, by the way, quite regularly and very efficiently. A very effective manager turned out", - said Putin.

Because, "effective" managers, they do everything in the dark so that we don't see their effects.

[Piramidon]

[quote = Roman070280] The USSR only made galoshes, which nobody needed ". Vladimir Putin [/ quote]

No need to distort quotes with your fantasies

[quote] What did Putin really say? And he said this: "... everything we produced was not needed by anyone. Because nobody bought our galoshes, except as an African who needed to walk on the hot sand [/ quote]
Putin said that "everything we produced." That is, we did a lot of things, he speaks in the plural. We produced, but nobody needed it, except galoshes [/ quote]

modern managers

Modern day managers do everything scientifically. Their creations will not bring any profit during operation, on the contrary, some losses. But the development and implementation process is a gold mine, hence all these "shifts to the right", additional allocations, etc.

My last flight on the TU-154 took place 10 years ago (Petersburg-Yekaterinburg). On each bend, it clearly creaked, the landing ended with stormy, very stormy applause. In general, this plane, like other Soviet times, has warm memories. After all, before the trees were big ...

A small amendment to your comment, namely - Tu-154, with passengers, there is no need to twist turns.

[AlexVas44]

That's right, don't bend, roll! Yes, and I agree with your attitude to applause, so I think.

By the way, this is a very bad habit and it looks very stupid - they probably start clapping their hands out of fright when they hear enough squeaks in flight.

[2 Level Advisor]

yes, I am also always amazed by the clapping .. despite the fact that if the pilot is clapping, he does not hear them .. and why clap during an ordinary flight? they did not leave the fighters all the way ...

[bober1982]

Quote: Level 2 Advisor

yes, the clapping always amazes me too ..

For some reason, the bus driver is not clapped, the train driver, etc.
At a pedestrian crossing, if the driver lets a pedestrian pass, according to the logic of clapping, the driver must also clap.

This is probably why the "partners", God forbid, of course, purposefully worked to destroy it. The Country had an idea, maybe not so comfortable for residents, but there was. It's no secret that promoting your democracy, values the West seeks to destroy ties: historical, family, religious, any ties and to substitute concepts ..

These aircraft are long-haul, the Tu-154 is medium-haul.
Therefore, the conveniences were different.

But about the military ... Xs airport bus cue drove up to him ...

[bober1982]

Tu-134 and Tu-154, military, will fly for a long time, it is too early to write them off.
It is often impossible to distinguish between a military and a civilian aircraft, outwardly, as well as the crew.

[volodimer]

I agree, they will still fly, but without us
And, in general, three of my favorites:

In the flight unit of Russia and in the Moscow Region, these boards will continue to work calmly and further :) They left the lines of civil passenger transportation.

I read that at our Central Asian airfields in the summer, the start of the motors began with the fact that a fire engine drove up, and the motors were doused with water for cooling, otherwise they would not start. Passengers in the cabin, who saw this for the first time, were quietly fucking.

I rarely write comments, but stop the fourth it was a cool plane. Beautiful and reliable like the T-72B3. I remember once in 2008 I was winding on a business trip, in that direction I was flying the fourth stop - exactly no shakes took off, walked, landed, walked exactly like a tank, returned back to the 319th, when landing it was so sausage that stewardesses threw from seats to chairs, there were thoughts that everything - swooped

The Union was not destroyed so that Tu and Ilakh were flown again in dozens of countries around the world.
In the civilian aviation, Russia was driven as Indians to the reservation - they gave beads and mirrors (they allowed to blind a pre-born-dry superjet). And now they are being stifled by sanctions, depriving them of technologies and much needed materials.
That we would stay behind the red flags.
