Summary edit

Description

c/n 8350705 (visible on base of fin) NATO codename:- Camel The Tu-104 was the worlds second jet airliner to enter service, following the British DH106 Comet. Due to the Comet being grounded following accidents, the Tu-104 therefore became the worlds first properly successful jet airliner. A total of 201 were built and they saw service in Russia, the Czech Republic and Mongolia. This particular Tu-104 was built in 1958 and saw military special flight service, but in Aeroflot colours and wearing a civil registration (CCCP-42390). It was later converted for Zero-G cosmonaut training and based at nearby Chkalovski, arriving at Monino in 1979. Central Air Force museum, Monino, Moscow Oblast, Russia.
