Air Moldova Tupolev Tu-134A/B ER-65140 - Prague - Ruzyně Photo

Photographer's remark
(2.9.2008, 11:35 CET)
An official visit of the Government of Moldova to Czech Republic, with the Prime Minister of Moldova Mrs.Zinaidu Greceanii on board. PS: I haven't seen Tu 134 alive since my childhood. I would write a very long story how I was planning to photograph this bird once it was announced on Planes.cz, then how I had something to do at that time, then I rescheduled in a last minute (it's a Tu 134 you know ;-), then there was an unbelievable traffic jam, and I was running 3 km around the fence with a ladder an the gear just to get this shot. Unfortunately, I was there 5 minutes later than planned, and I did not get into the right position - I almost missed the bird for a few hundred meters. Breathing heavily, jumped to the ladder, and got a few ugly shots, sorry. Ten minutes later, clouds broke and sun appeared. Well, this happens regularly, you all know that. The bird is leaving tomorrow in the night - no opportunity to photograph it.
