We already covered this this ex-military pilot in Russia who used to fly Tu-154, and recently became a captain on Boeing-737 flying for one low cost Russian air carrier, but instead of making you look for all 5 parts, we wanted to unite all of his incredible pictures into this one gallery. The guy’s name is Alexiy, but he calls himself “letchik leha” which would literally translate as “pilot alexiy”, he has been taking spectacular pictures from the cockpits of the airplanes for the past three years. Here are his pictures of the sky, ground, as well as airplanes - basically everything that he sees at his job daily. All of the pictures we are posting here are taken by him, and you can find more at his journal here…
Ilushin-86 remains the first Russian wide body passenger airliner. Making its maiden flight back in 1976, 42 out of 103 Il-86 produced, still remain flying today. Il-86 is a very safe aircraft, with only one crash with fatalities back in 2002. One thing that had been noted about Il-86 is their periodic long take off rolls.

There are a lot of small villages in Russia with very ambitious names. This one is called Paris, and obviously they wouldn’t dare to call themselves that unless they had something in common with the actual Paris in France, take a look what that is…
We already had shown you a pretty weird car that was made out of Lada, now here is another one. Lets face it jeep convertibles can be very fun in the summer, and while the Jeep Wrangler is kind of pricey, this on the other hand, isn’t…

Aside from owning the Chelsea Football Club, as well as three helicopters, two private jets, and countless million dollar properties, Roman Abramovich also happens to own five yachts. Here is his biggest one called the “Pelorus” which is measured at 115 meters long, so long in fact that it couldn’t fit on the regular St. Petersburg piers and instead had to be “parked” on the English piers of Neva river…
