Hello and welcome to my first trip report on the netairspace forum!

In the end of May a dream came true, I had the opportunity to join Belavia's event flight on one of their last Tu-154M from Minsk/MSQ to Geneva/GVA.

On the 28th of May I flew from Hamburg to Minsk, I bought tickets on the LOT flight via WAW on my Miles&More-Miles. The SP-LDH, an E170, safely took me to WAW:


There I caught some nice planes, including LOT's retro livery:


A big UIA jet:


The Iron Man:


And an Embraer jet of the Polish government:


Two hours later I continued my journey, the SP-LNE took me to Minsk:


We taxied past a Belavia Boeing 733 to our gate:


The rest of the day we spent in the City of Minsk, which is very nice. I hope to get there again soon. But the next morning we already were going to take our Tu-154 flight to Geneva. And here it is:








A video of the take off:


Absolutely lovely sound.

Inflight:


The cabin:


A video of the landing in GVA:


Note the power of the reversers! A subscribe to my YouTube channel would be very nice.

Unfortunately there was no possibility to take a photo of the aircraft at GVA. So this pic of my flight to HAM, the 4U A319 D-AGWW took me back home, is the last one of this trip report:


Thanks for watching and reading, I hope you enjoyed it.

Nice TR.

Really fantastic, and since my most common type is a CR2, I'm very jealous of you!

Also, that last shot was killer, but I love mountains so I'm biased.

Love the sound on the videos

Excellent Trip Report . . . Love the photos of the TU.

Thank you!

Nice report. It's a real shame to see the Tu-154s disappear but great that you got to fly one of Belavia's last. The noise in the take-off video
