Photo Comment

My trip to LTAI was somewhat marred because the best runway for ground pictures (36R/18L) was closed for electrical maintanance, therefore, I reluctantly took some departure shots to avoid coming away with nothing. Here, UT784 is pictured climbing out from rw36 at the start of the flight to Moscow (VKO). This plane is an old friend as it was originally delivered to Ryanair as EI-CSZ in July 2002. It went on to fly with Atlant-Soyuz Airlines and Moscow Airlines (as VQ-BCH) before joining UTair as VQ-BJH in July 2011, and acquiring its Russian registration in March 2022.
