wow, manual trim during takeoff? what caused the climb delay?

[air1luis]

I don't know but the nose down attitude after rotation is clearly visible.

[Lolstunter]

When did you take this vid?

MALÉV hasn't got TU-154 for 3 or 4 years.

great vid then!

[air1luis]

1994, as can be seen in the video!

[theirishmaniac08]

your right yeah sorry,they look simular I just right away thought it was a tupelov

do you know why the 727 is there?

[air1luis]

Well, that 727 is private, the owner made a flight to Faro in 2007 I think, then he had problems and never more used the plane. Now that 727 is not in flying conditions, I guess it will be cutted in pieces.

Tupolev-154 older than Boeing-727 ! How it can be its copy ?

[Stratoscar100]

What a sound :-) Best plane ever...

@criticalpass

I think it was just for show.

@av21031 nice facts

[av21031]

@spenckey The Boeing 727 entered service in 1964 and the Tu-154 in 1970. Numbers built are: B-727 = 1,831 vs Tu-154 = 1015. The average B-727 flies more often than the 154, and the 154 flies in harsher climatic conditions (very low temps) often from basic (unpaved/gravel) airfields as is typical over much of Siberia which has permafrost. In this respect it is a bit like a turboprop. The hull loss rates of the 727 and 154 (no. of planes lost out of the total built) are almost the same.

thats a shame....and maybe late on increasing alt due to collecting enough speed...maybe....

[spenckey]

Just to clarify something, will somebody please post when the B-727 and Tu-154 first flew and then entered service. I was under the impression the Boeing was around 1963, and the Tupolev was more like 1969. Just the facts, please.

[JBofBrisbane]

Ample use of ground effect after unstick.

[43447]

Wow,.. thats the old 154B2 version very loud as you can hear.

The Tupolev 154M was also a fairly loud plane, but not like the older 154A and B(2) versions.

[Carmelo33]

Seems like an unrestricted climb to me :)

[Perszephoneia]

Hú, de nehezen kezdte meg a "climbingot":)))
