THE SIGHT & THE SOUND 9-1/11 : Motor Sich AN-24 UR-BXC documentary from Lwow to Kiev
FLIGHT #9 PART 1
MOTOR SICH AIRLINES AN-24RV UR-BXC LWOW-KIEV
Being tempted by the idea to join the final scheduled flight of Belavia's legendary TU-154M on a rotation from Minsk to St. Petersburg and back, it just made sense to change my usual access to Belarus from a direct flight from Frankfurt to a Motor Sich Airlines flight from Zaporizhia, Ukraine. Especially, because a YAK-40 and an AN-140 have been planned for scenic flights out of Minsk, the possibility was likely to get a two hour YAK-40 and a two hour AN-140 ride in and out of Minsk for 150 EUR. Once in Zaporizhia, I could not resist the idea to explore once again the network of this very unusual and unique fine little airline, operating solely aircraft of Soviet and Ukrainian production, equipped with engines developed and manufactured by the Motor Sich Engine Plant.
So, it was off again to the Ukraine, in 2016. Things in the Ukraine have changed considerably from 2014. To the worse. The enthusiasm from the days of the Maidan has given way to a letargic and pessimistic mood. Lots of red tape, increased suspicion against foreigners from whatever origin has sparked an increased awareness of security personnel on the ramp and elsewhere against those species with a camera in their hand. Spirits and minds are back to old Soviet reflections. It is hard to imagine this great country getting back on its feet soon.
Eleven (!) flights in total on board Soviet and Ukrainian metal were about to follow.
After my short excursion to Belarus and St. Petersburg, three flights were on my agenda for the next day, Monday, October 10.
Flying from Zaporizhia back to Kiev and connecting there to Motor Sich flight to Lwow, close to the Polish border and returning back to Kiev in the evening. The weather in Kiev could not be worse, it seemed the low pressure cold front found its way from Minsk and moved downward to Kiev, where I was doing my video recordings. Uuuuhhhh... Flight #9 takes us on board my favourite AN-24 of Motor Sich, UR-BXC back from Lwow to Kiev with a spectacular night landing over the city. Clean cabin, clean windows, this plane looks spick and span, just a beauty. Part 1 features Lwow Airport Terminal and a nice take off over the city and cabin images.
