This 154 was initially delivered to Aeroflot at Vnukovo as CCCP-85725 in May 1992. It went on to fly with Belavia (as EW-85725), Chelyabinsk Avia (as RA-85725), Mahan Air (as EP-MHB) and Enkor (as RA-85725) before joining Sibir in April 2005. It is pictured here tayxing out to rw09L for departure. After S7, the frame went on to fly for Zapolyarye, KavMinVody Avia and South East Airline and retired around January 2012. It was then stored at Mineralnyye Vody (MRV) and scrapped the following year.

This lovely 154 was originally delivered to the Kyrgyzstan directorate of Aeroflot as CCCP-85718 in February 1992. It is pictured here taxing out for departure (presumably) back to Bishkek. Less than two months later this 154 was involved in a ground collision at Bishkek. During a take-off run about 2.7 m of the 154's outer right-wing was ripped off after striking the No.1 engine fairing of USAF KC-135R 63-8886, which had just vacated the runway. The KC-135 burned out but the 154 was able to become airborne, make a safe emergency landing in the opposite direction and was eventually repaired.
