Photo Comment

Someone is having his back warmed. This always impressive freighter was delivered as CCCP-78815 in July 1989 and first seen in eastern Germany the following year. Still based in Novgorod, it became RA-78815 in 1993 and received the basic Aeroflot colours in 2010. The RF-serial was likely applied in 2015.
