Today is the birthday of the legend of Soviet aviation - the supersonic miracle - Tu-144.
Exactly 55 years ago - December 31, 1968 - the Tu-144 first took to the skies.
The fact that I flew a little and not far is yes.
But that doesn’t make him any less legendary.
For almost 7 months, the lucky ones in 1977-1978 could buy a ticket for Moscow-Alma-Ata flights.
First passenger - November 1, 1977
Last passenger - May 23, 1978
Two aircraft were filmed in this video:
USSR-77114 - is located in Zhukovsky and can ride on a tractor along the platform.
USSR-77115 - installed as a monument on Tupolevskoye Highway.
Every autumn it folds its nose and wings, and every spring it “unfolds” them.
Filming:
USSR-77114
