Hi,

On one of my usual trips to Sardinia last week, via FCO ( Rome ) and saw a nice TU154. ( enclosed )

Basically anything that isn't an Airbus/Boeing catches my eye now a days.

Interestingly in CAG there are usually 1 or 2 Italian Mil Atlantics sitting there , but they seemed to have gone , and there was a C130 sitting there .

I am going to have to remember my camera on these trips , the only thing I have is my phone and I can't get decent photos with that

I've head some funny stories about maintenence of those Belavia aircraft. Apparently they are (or at least used to be) kept in poor repair. A relation of mine was once travelling on one of their 154's, from Belarus to EINN, and a maintenece guy came on board with duct tape, covered over something in the galley and said "Dont worry, this tape very strong. We use it all over the plane!"
