Domodedovo
On the storage ramp at Domo......
....work carries on amongst the semi-derelict airliners......
...but it's right next to the landing runway. This is a Yak-42D of Volga Avia Express.
Three Tu-154Ms put out to grass.
I dislike this S7 finish.
This is more like it - a Tu-134 of ......
..... Kolavia.
Boeing 747 of Transaero.
All the big stuff seemed to be using this runway for takeoff - this 777 of Singapore Airlines taxied past....
..... and took off.
Boeing 737 of Kyrgyzstan Airlines.
This Transaero 747 taxied past.....
.....I don't know if there was a problem - but he spent so long at the hold point.......
..... that he caused this Yamal Airlines Boeing 737-500 to perform a 'missed approach'.....
.... the 747 had to taxy back to the ramp - while his colleague taxied out.
We moved to the other runway to watch the takeoffs - this Ukrainian Embraer ERJ 190-2LR taxied past.
It isn't an attractive scheme......
Azerbaijan 757.........
....followed by a Dniproavia 737.
Dniproavia Embraer ERJ 145EU.
ERJ 190 climbs out....
.... followed by the 737.......
..... and an Uzbekistan Airlines Airbus A310.
Vim Airlines 757.
Belavia B737 from Belarus.
B737-800 of Russian airline Nordstar.
'Sasha' - our security 'minder'.
Natasha and Sasha taking a break.
Over to the the 'graveyard'
Classic example of an Il-62 that will never fly again.
VIP-configured Libyan Government Il-62 looking rather forlorn.
Another Il-62.
Tu-154M of Moscovia.
Somonair B737 on the ramp.
Tu-154M of Alrosa.
Back again to the landing runway - to see this Region Avia Embraer 120.
MChS Yak-42 being moved.
I still don't like this colour scheme......
.... even on a 737.
Much nicer!
Vim Airlines B757 - is that a rip-off of the Virgin colour scheme or what ??
ERJ-195LR of Montenegro Airlines.
A 'proper' airliner - Turan Air Tu-154M.
ATU Tu-204-100 with PS-90 engines.
Back to the western stuff.
The old gives way to the new......
