When you next time decide to take a local flight across the Russia don’t be surprised to board an airplane like this.
And don’t be surprised, haven’t you know that the sticky tape is the best way to put pieces of the plane together? At least of this particular plane.
I had the armrest fall off of my chair on a United flight from San Francisco. No packing tape on the door, though!
Not so bad and actually a little trivial, I work in East, West and Central Africa and some of the airlines here are a whole lot worse.
Tape on the trim doesn’t bother me.
Anyone else remember when German air officials had to tell the Chinese airline that they could not fix their jet intake compressor fan with tape?
if this is an airplane from russia, why the charts are in spanish?
Good point.
I would not worry about the parts of internal trim falling off, but it tells a lot about general maintenance…
Obviously, Russia, as a poor country cannot afford new planes thats why they have to use second or 3rd or 4th hand planes from aeroplane junkyard around the world.
who says russian airlines must operate russian planes? we can’t tell from the photos where this was taken.
Miss Punjabi did you eat toxic waste for dinner last night?
Russians produce own aeroplanes,much cheaper of this second hand trash,post is fake 100% its AIR INDIA plane operating on the line New Delhi-New Delhi…plane is airport shuttle.
You are absolutely wrong Indian poor guy! ! ! ! ! !Soviets and Russians produced some of the finest aeroplanes in the whole world.there is no single country in this world who produced so many planes at there own.i think your poor air force is better know about this “truth”.MiG 21 is your “love and passion”due to his unbeatable and superb “performance”! ! ! ! ! ! !.i think if your passion will continue to this legendary flying machine,your hole “FLYING DRIVERS”vanished from this world by the year 2015! ! ! ! ! ! !
i’m not russian but the last time i heard russia makes topolovs and has it’s own airplane making factories, and i don’t think russia’s THAT poor not to be able to make its own airplanes. i mean i’m an iranian and even though we’re under sanctions, meaning we can’t buy new american airplanes, our airplanes are even in better condition than these pieces of junk! i’ve never seen an airplane taped together!
‘Miss India’ is most likely not Indian. Its obvious the person is trying to create bad blood between Indians and Russians. Indians respect Russians.
I thought the Spanish was funny, too. I doubt they were being that considerate to all the Cubans still stuck in the FSU;)
More likely because it was originally an American plane, bought at bargain basement prices since it is _so_ old:(
Blame it’s condition on the owners not the maker. It looks like it’s an older American Made Boeing or Douglass, that has not been well cared for. Boeing puts those same signs, lamps switches on most of it’s jets.
russia buys old, used, cheap transport vehicles once they fail their own countrys safety checks..
i think this is not a russian plane. the spanish gives away. it could be from some third world countries speak in spanish.
Read what Miss India wrote and think about it.
Why dont you and mr india try actually “thinking”
3 days ago I took a plane from Kiev and the “advertisings” were in french. Obviously it was a second hand plane, like (maybe) this one.
When I flew to Moscow I used Aeroflot and the aircraft was a 767 manufactured in Everette Washington. I didn’t notice any deferred maintenance on the aircraft. I am curious to what kind of aircraft is featured in this post.
It’s quite common in eastern europe to see vehicles with signs that are in language never used there. Like spanish, french, swedish, etc..
I think the reason is that eastern europeans are practical and the language in signs has no effect on how the vehicle moves. Whether it’s a bus, an airplane or a ship.
they aren’t russian planes! They are from Ukraine.
I had a similar experience with tape on a airplane during a flight to florida a few years ago:http://thetalik.net/pictures/florida/hi/1.jpg
oh please everyone knows whats wrong with this pic. its the JEWS end of story.
Robot is right – its Ukrainian Douglas (DC-9 or MD 82, 83) operated by UM airlines
Care to enlighten us how you know it what kind of plane it is and operated by whom?

above with a reference to fishki.net
Plus I use to fly same airline and seen same things.
Reminds me of the good old days when I flew TACA (Take A Chance Airlines).
Is this that plane where was recorded porn with pilots ?
See what happens if you try to get on a U.S.-bound plane with a roll of duct tape or clear-wrap…
Maybe now they will welcome you on board and ask to borrow your tape to wrap around the tires, since they’ve had so many blow out lately.
Where????????????????????????
Maybe he means they fly like rocks.
ukranian photoshop!
hahaha. first time this joke is funny.
Whether this is Russian plane or not, I have flown in a British plane with Italian texts on the emergency doors.
By the way, Aeroflot have a lot of different types of planes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot-Cargo), new ones and bit older ones. For example two of Finnair’s old MD-11 planes have been sold to be used as cargo planes by Aeroflot.
Thats to stop the water dripping in from the faulty air con
this is an american Mc donell douglas,very old for sure, strange that Russia use this ones in Local Airlines.
It’s look like some brazilian airplanes. Here a company even used sometime a kind of duct tape in the wings…
There was a lady on this plane. I was sitting next to her. She was wearing a skirt and my d*ick got hard. She noticed my erection and I put my hand on her leg and worked it under her skirt where I fingered her hot, wet and juicy p*ussy until she had multiple orgasms. I wanted to phuck and suck her p*ussy to. S*EX IS THE BEST !!!
I flew on planes like that in China, but there was more tape. I’m still alive
Russia is not poor any more, and situation is giong to be better end better every day. I love Russia.
Wow, is all of the hate necessary for this thread? I live in and fly in Russia frequently, and I’ve seen such things (although maybe this is indeed a Ukrainian airline). Yes, they do use recycled planes from Boeing and Airbus as well as the old Soviet Tupelovs. Old planes of any make are going to be problematic, but again, why so much hate (racism, antisemitism, threats, etc.) over pictures of tape in an airplane?
It’s really quite pathetic.
Are you sure this is russian? ’cause on the first pic, “Salida de Emergencia” is Spanish
Very risky plain though
I saw some russian planes(tu134,tu-154)that have signs in spanish,english and polish.so it doesnt make any sense that there spanish is used.it is russian plane.but we can not say it is belong to any russian airlines.many post-Soviet and some others still use russian palnes,like my country Azerbaijan.
i wouldnt drink that water….
this isn’t the worst plance. once i had flight with Kartago airlines (thats tunisia air lines), i was praying all flight…
I tried talking to some Russians about maintenance. They didn’t understand what the word meant. I tried drawing things being maintained. They had no idea what I was talking about.
So beautiful guestbook design. What CMS do you use ?
So beautiful gb design. What CMS do you use ?
Very cool server design. What CMS do you use ?
thats why they tell u to trust national airlines…..
If the national airlines is like that too… then I wonder hows their railway system…
LONG LIVE PAKISTAN!!!!
i flew on a russian flight once and yeeea i got a hard on mid-flight
Nice!, found your post on digg.Glad I finally tested it out. Unsure if its my Opera browser,but sometimes when I visit your site, the fonts are really small? However, love your page and will check back.See Ya
When Russia buys used airplanes from Mexico, why don’t they tape a piece of paper with Russian instructions over the Spanish?
Except that I don’t see any Spanish on this thing anyway. Where is it?
local flights are dammen
Your English is rubbish, as well your grammar. You are a tool. Why don’t you just stop using the English language altogether. Then perhaps people would not think you are such a tool ….. no, I doubt people will stop thinking that. Maybe you should just stop breathing. Yes, that would be nice.
There are many cheap and low cost flights, but they are not maintained properly.
low cost flights to Finland
Air India is similar to this plane. Tape everywhere, bathroom doors that don’t actually close, microseats that force your knees into your chin, and limited space in the overhead bins so that all the passengers are literally fighting each other to get their suitcase in before anyone else.
Hello could I use some of the insight found in this blog if I link back to you?
My friend recently had to travel on a plane through south america where they had to fly at treetop height – with the luggage in the aisles – because the door had come off!
I found this very useful for me so please keep it up.
Unreal; don’t act smart. It’s not photoshopped, it’s just turned over. Just enjoy the illusion(:
does it really fly? :p
Soendoro Soetanto
I thought it is just Iranians that use old fashions planes!
Interesting that all the damaged parts pictured appear to be no more than cosmetic in nature.
Show me a plane with the engines duct-taped to the wings. THEN I’ll be worried.
its soo bad airline
the life of our customers should come first before we think of what we can can gain/profit..c:
You are right,john.all over the world “budget airliners”has same kind of saving attitude at the cost of their “poor”passengers.if you remember few years ago,Alaskan air line performs same dirty practice.may be they save few dollars but many families lost their love ones.God bless them.
