That has got to be the best piece of flying I've ever seen! I never did get why Tupolev gave this plane anhedral rather than dihedral wings... Certainly doesn't help the dutch roll and dihedral effects seen here...

@vonkaunaz - I TOTALLY agree; which is why these aricraft are STILL operating today.

This is like flying FSX with keyboard! I've never been able to land with only keyboard :D

@launchsa But the bulk of those crashes are due to poor and miserable maintenance of the airplanes. It was not like that in Soviet times when standards and maintenance were utterly strict. This announcement has NOTHING to do with the quality and/or performance of the Tu-154. Put any Boeing or Airbus under the poor maintenance records many Tu-154s were subject to in recent years, and they will just crash the same.

@datathunderstorm Countless European friends have flown in Tu´s and IL´s and tell me the experience is IDENTICAL, if not better, when compared with other Western airlines (and better than flying on any shitty present-day American airlines). The recent incidents with Tupolevs have been mainly due to the poor maintenance of recent years. The pilot on this specific bird is not from this world; he should be in the air force or something like that or in the Russian space program.

Idiot comment is a straight result of shit inside instead of brains, you seems to be a very poor man, nothing can help you

a lesser pilot would have lost that no doubt

Glad I wasn't the pilot, because I would have puked after the 10th oscillation.. and at every fifth oscillation after that!

lol even the aircraft are drunk
That pilot is a hero. The plane appears to have lost all rear stability controls.
