I got up today to the news that another hull crashed, this time in Iran. The metal belonged to Caspian Airlines, and was a Tupolev 154M.
I've already read a lot of comments from the experts extolling the safety of commercial air transport. And I agree, but there is no way that I would ever fly on Russian hardware (or Chinese for that matter). I know I might sound ignorant to the purists, but a combination of Russian metal and economic sanctions (Caspian Air is a partially owned Iranian operation) would make me extremely uncomfortable.
I'm staying off the Russian metal. A pic of a Tu154M is attached.
