Join airline videographer Henry Tenby in January, 1995, for a round-trip flight between Budapest and Prague, aboard Malev Hungarian Airlines Tupolev Tu 134 HA-LBR.

Malev’s Tupolev Tu 134s retired shortly thereafter, and this Malev Hungarian Airlines show presents the viewer with the ultimate onboard experience of flying on this classic Russian short-haul jetliner. Seated in the back row for both Tupolev Tu 134 flights, where the engine noise is at its loudest. You’ll also sample Malev’s onboard service, and visit the flight-deck. The Tupolev Tu 134 howling Solovyev D-30 turbofan engines provide a truly magnificent flight experience. A music to the ears, which no current-day western aircraft can compete with!

Once back in Budapest, we’ll fly aboard Malev’s Tupolev Tu154 HA-LCO on the busy Budapest-London sector, sampling the comforts of Tupolev Tu154 flying, from both the passenger cabin and the flight deck. Malev’s Tu154s also retired in the mid-90s. Lastly, we’ll sample a Budapest take-off in a Malev Boeing 737-200.

The interior footage is complemented with exterior footage, and scenes from both Budapest and Prague airports. Making this one hour show a must for any fan of Soviet-built aircraft.
