THE SIGHT & THE SOUND 3/7 : Malev TU-154 HA-LCV inflight documentary from Budapest to Moscow

This inflight documentation is more than 13 years old and features a flight onboard Malev Hungarian Airlines TU-154B-2 from Budapest to Moscow with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra in the last month of operation. End of March 2001 the Malev TU-154 were retired and became history. After that Malev operated no more Soviet built aircraft.

This flight was taped with Mini DV cassettes.
I therefore apologize for the poor video quality and hope that you still can capture the feeling of what it was like to fly onboard a Malev TU-154.
