BEAUTIFUL plane!! How many people does it take to fly it? It looks like 4 or 5.

[sibtupolev]

@dave4shmups I think we were 8 by flight. Maybe less. I don't remember. We were first supposed to be seated (40) in the rear cabin (not pressurised) where they had to install Tupolev's seat but following a Belavia CRJ crash a few weeks before, it was not allowed by authority and instead off, they had to organise 5 shorter flights with less passengers.

@wizzair1313 No. I'm Régis Sibille from Belgium. But that's true Christian has a very similar picture.
