TU-154 Special Missions Aircraft

The Russian plane TU-154 Special Missions Aircraft was introduced back in the early ‘70s and has become a popular aircraft for Russian passenger airlines. In the USSR, this medium-range, three-engine airliner was used for many years. For decades, the aircraft was the preferred plane for passenger aircraft and former Soviet countries until the mid-2000s. As a matter of fact, it was so popular that more than fifty percent of the airline Aeroflot’s passengers flew in one of the TU-154.
