Photo Comment

This 134 was originally built as an 'A' and delivered to the Soviet Government (with an Aeroflot colour scheme) as CCCP-65717 in March 1981, only to be transferred to the International directorate of Aeroflot in April 1984. It was sometime after this converted to 'A-3' standard and is pictured taxying to stand after arriving from Moscow (SVO). This plane has the claim to fame in that it operated the last ever Aeroflot Tu-134 service from Ufa to Moscow on 31st Decemeber 2007. Its last flight was in April 2009 to Riga (RIX) where it is on display at the Latvijas Aviacijas Tehnikas Muzejs.
