    A view I really like. The copper shining nozzles of the massive turbo jet engines, the huge delta wing, the blue stripe of the classic Aeroflot livery and the small canard wing on the planes nose. Definately, the Tupolev 144 is from a different time.

  • Fast and Timeless

    If time travel will ever be invented, I would book a flight aboard this plane. This is the timeless late 70s style cabin of the world’s first supersonic passenger airplane, theĀ Tupolev 144. As a boy, grown up in former East Germany, of course I had one of those TU-144 modell contruction kits and it was a need for me to set a foot io this plane one day. As there is one of these jets displayed in Sinsheim/Germany and I was in Heilbronn last weekend, which is just around th ecorner, I had to visit the Museum where it is displayed.
