| Notes |
After the accident of CCCP-77111, this aircraft and CCCP-77113 were used as testbed until the TU-144D model obtained the certificate of airworthiness in the beginning of 80's. As result of 50 trial flights between Moscow and Khabarovsk was recommended to operate with passengers but, unlike TU-144S, this never happened. When the TU-144 program was cancelled, 07-1 was stored at Zhukovsky for almost twenty years until a private German museum bought her by 500,000 $. In October 2000 the nose, tail and wings were removed and CCCP-77112 was shipped on a barge for a trip from Moscow to Sinsheim via Baltic sea of more than 4,000 km. The aircraft was re-assembled and on March 2001 lifted to the roof of the museum where today is on display. This is the only one TU-144 on display out of Russia. |
