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!

    2. Gerry says:

      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.

    3. 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?

    4. Patroklo says:

      if this is an airplane from russia, why the charts are in spanish?

      • CZenda says:

        Good point.
        I would not worry about the parts of internal trim falling off, but it tells a lot about general maintenance…

      • Miss India says:

        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.

        • Jésus says:

          who says russian airlines must operate russian planes? we can’t tell from the photos where this was taken.

        • Mother fucker dirty asshole indian.fuck you all indians.go to your monkey God`s ass.your all Indian industrial boom based on Soviet and Russian donations.again fuck you guy.

        • Ortodox says:

          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.

        • Zafarad says:

          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! ! ! ! ! ! !

        • VsemPizdetz says:

          Why even bother coming on EnglishRussia with your ignorant Hindi comments? I would actually in your state praise Russia for its contributions to you. Did you know that India bought Soviet arsenal worth 60 million dollars since the ’60’s? I didn’t think so. By the way, Russia is not a Third World country otherwise Russia would not be included in the G8 and other international commisions. Go choke on some curry and live in the shithole you are proud to call India.

        • shtagh says:

          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!

      • Matt J says:

        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.

      • edwardo says:

        russia buys old, used, cheap transport vehicles once they fail their own countrys safety checks..

    5. caelus says:

      i think this is not a russian plane. the spanish gives away. it could be from some third world countries speak in spanish.

    6. aa says:

      LOL once again the stupid owner of this site thinks that because he found the pics on a russian site it means that they’re russian. HAY GUYZ CHECK THIS RUSSIAN COMPANY CALLED MICROSOFT:
      http://www.microsoft.ru

      IT WAS FOUNDED BY VASIA GATOV

    7. robot says:

      this article is bullshit

      neither it has anything with russia to do (unless you see ukraine or kazakhstan still as part of it :/) nor is it a local flight.

      obviously this phots were ripped from here: http://fishki.net/comment.php?id=32916

      and the story behind is about a flight from almaty (kazakhstan) to kyiv (ukraine)
      and operated by the ukrainian airline “Ukrainian - Mediterranean Airlines”

      with good reason this airline is banned to operate in the EU

    8. Richard S. says:

      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.

    9. numb says:

      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.

    10. alexstyle says:

      they aren’t russian planes! They are from Ukraine.

    11. derek says:

      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

    12. cykalox says:

      oh please everyone knows whats wrong with this pic. its the JEWS end of story.

    13. Technik says:

      Robot is right - its Ukrainian Douglas (DC-9 or MD 82, 83) operated by UM airlines

    14. El Hombre says:

      Reminds me of the good old days when I flew TACA (Take A Chance Airlines). :-)

    15. Pros says:

      Is this that plane where was recorded porn with pilots ?

    16. Vissotsky says:

      See what happens if you try to get on a U.S.-bound plane with a roll of duct tape or clear-wrap…

    17. Nazi Ukraine says:

      Nazi planes rocks

    18. Alex says:

      ukranian photoshop!

    19. 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.

    20. Chicken says:

      Thats to stop the water dripping in from the faulty air con

    21. Scrat335 says:

      This is a Ukrainian plane, not a Russian one, it says so on the Fishki site the moron that put the pictures up took them from. I have flown on Aeroflot many times and have never seen any of this on any Russian planes. The worst I have seen is the inflight movie is not working and because the plane is at the end of it’s run it’s a little dirty. Inside and out. I must say that the MI-8 I rode in Siberia one time was a very uncomfortable, rough ride. It’s got a military lineage though.

    22. Gustavo says:

      this is an american Mc donell douglas,very old for sure, strange that Russia use this ones in Local Airlines.

    23. Claudio says:

      It’s look like some brazilian airplanes. Here a company even used sometime a kind of duct tape in the wings…

    24. GOOD POINT, If it is russia then why Instruction in spanish, YOU MOTHER FUCKER AMERICANS, STOP THIS BILL SHIT, TALKING BAD ABOUT RUSSIA, YOU GONNA SOON DIE, THE BEAR IS COMING YOU MOTHER FUCKER BASTARDS, WORLD KNOWS ABOUT YOUR DIRTY PROPAGANDA NOW.

    25. Charlie says:

      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 !!!

    26. Meg says:

      I flew on planes like that in China, but there was more tape. I’m still alive ;)

    27. serb says:

      Russia is not poor any more, and situation is giong to be better end better every day. I love Russia.

    28. siberat says:

      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?

    29. I live in New Jersey and go to Russia once every 3 - 5 years.

      Last time i went back was December 2006. I was in moscow for 3 days and St.Petersburg for 2. I had to fly to St.Petersburg on a local airline. All i know is that the plane was a TU -something. Im used to continental and delta in the US. Well this flight was so different from that. The stewardess did not check for seats in upright position nor did she cehck for seatbelts. Poeple had their feet above seats. But that is fine i dont care about that crap. BUT … on those planes the engines i guess are on the back of the plane. So instead of the plane gaining/losing altitude like planes with englines on their wings this thing would either tilt upward and feel as if i was going up an escalator…or it would NOSE DIVE to lose altitude. I have never been more scared than when the TU started its “descent” which was REALLY A FUCKING NOSE DIVE. Plus the plane looks scary as hell because its from the soviet era. Next time im going to make sure im flying on a boeing or something that is not russian. Not that it isnt reliable..but that it doesnt have auto pilot and the whole nose dive thing wasnt so fun.

    30. Mehenfit says:

      Are you sure this is russian? ’cause on the first pic, “Salida de Emergencia” is Spanish :P

      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.

    31. gire says:

      i wouldnt drink that water…. :P

    32. dennis says:

      Some assholes dont even see that this plane is not even used by russians ,,,,l look at the emergeny signs you blind fucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

    33. azsdasd says:

      this isn’t the worst plance. once i had flight with Kartago airlines (thats tunisia air lines), i was praying all flight…

    34. 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.

    38. r4 ds card says:

      thats why they tell u to trust national airlines…..
      If the national airlines is like that too… then I wonder hows their railway system…

    39. Zafarad says:

      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.
