The Ukrainian Army has shot down a Russian A-50 early warning and control (AEW&C) plane near Trudovaya (Russia).
It was a new modernized Russian version of the aircraft - used for long-range radar detection, control & guidance for strikes on Ukraine with missiles from strategic aviation.
I'm taking a two flights to Wisconsin and I was thinking...
When Colossus isn't flying X-jet, do you think he always drops extra to get that first class leg room (and only buys nice seats for the leg room)?
I don't even think Comfort+ would allow him the relief of having to tuck his legs basically for 2+ hours wherever he's going - imagine he's like 'Ill take a flight to Russia from New York' and the Main cabin or Comfort+ was the only options..
The MIG-23 Flogger ready for takeoff! This Russian MIG was awesome to see in Lakeland since it's such a unique plane. It is rare to catch any Russian aircraft in the states so it was exciting to watch the Flogger tear overhead. I was saddened to hear about the crash this weekend at the airshow. Thankfully nobody was seriously hurt or killed.

WINNIPEG, Feb. 2. - Racing against time a trim monoplane took off from Stevenson airport here today in a desperate effort to overtake Peter Verigin, overlord of Canadas Doukhobor colonies, who is booked for deportation to Russia from Halifax. Verigin, whose removal from Prince Albert jail was accomplished Monday with great secrecy, arrived at Montreal today, enroute to the Atlantic seaboard.
Aboard the plane, which left here shortly before noon were Peter G. Makaroff, chief counsel to the Doukhobor chieftain, and S. F. Reitin, Verigin’s personal secretary. At Halifax they hope to complete final arrangement! for the disposition of the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood, and also for Verigin’s personal affairs.
The pursuit plane will connect at Pembina, N.D. with United States Trans-Continental Air Services and speed east to the Atlantic seaboard via Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, and Boston, and then on to Halifax. At Chicago the pair, will be joined by J. P. Shukin, of Brilliant, B.C., vice-president of the Doukhobor Communities and probable successor to Verigin as leader of Doukhobor settlement in Canada.
To Sail on Friday
With twenty-four hours' start, immigration officials plan to reach Halifax Friday evening. Makaroff and his companion, equipped with permission from Hon. W. Gordon, Minister of Immigration, expect to land their plane at the Atlantic seaport Friday.
Verigin is scheduled to sail from Halifax to Russia, the country of his origin. He was given permission to have leave the Soviet in 1927 on the understanding he would not return.
Doukhobor leaders were amazed at the speed and secrecy that have closed the drama of Peter Verigin's six years of Doukhobor leadership in Canada. No official Information of the spiriting away of their leader was given Doukhobor aides; Makaroff said before boarding the plane.
While Pursuit of their leader to seaboard proceeded, Doukhobors of Saskatchewan today gathered in annual convention at Blaine Lake, thirty-five miles northeast of Prince Albert. Police reinforcements grouped on the sidelines to watch proceedings.
