@ Budapest, Hungary
March 2019
It took my third trip to Budapest to be prepared for the shuttle bus drive by of the aircraft displays of the Aeropark Aviation Museum. MALÉV Hungarian Airlines was the flag carrier of Hungary from 1946 until 2012. The Tupolev Tu-154 is a three-engine medium-range narrow-body airliner designed in the mid-1960s and manufactured by Tupolev. Capable of operating from unpaved and gravel airfields, this aircraft was a workhorse of Soviet and (subsequently) Russian airlines for several decades, it remained the standard domestic-route airliner of Russia and former Soviet states until the mid-2000s. In January 2010 Russian flag carrier Aeroflot announced the retirement of its Tu-154 fleet after 40 years. Fuji X-E2s w/18-135mm.
