One of the luckiest experiences I think I’ve ever had, and unbeknown to me, my final flight on the Tu-154M with Alrosa.

-19°C outside, landing in the middle of a Siberian winter, expertly piloted by a group of Russia’s best, including Captain Yevgeny Novoselov (Hero of the Russian Federation) who is famous for successfully landing Alrosa 514 in Izhma in 2010 after a complete in flight electrical failure. Everyone survived and the trusty old Tushka - RA-85684 - was pulled out of the forest and put back into service for almost 8 more years.
