I started my trip in Bogota and my destination is Mitu; a jungle town near the border with Brazil. There are no roads to reach Mitu so the cargo has to be flown there. Once onboard the B737-200, the technicians were busy fixing the overhead panel while all […]

Sam Chui — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 09:44:22 +0000

Flying Soviet and Russian planes was completely different from modern-day flying! Sharing my last Aeroflot Ilyushin IL-96 flight experience in 2014 from Moscow to Istanbul.
