He flew!

Superjet "Aeroflot" livery "Khokhloma" landed at half past midnight at Sheremetyevo. The plane had arrived from Ostrava (Czech Republic) where it repainted.

Dozens of people, the will of fate found themselves at night in the vicinity of the airport "Sheremetyevo", witnessed the unusual phenomenon.
The fuel oil blackness of the night sky the sun appeared. The new airliner the Sukhoi Superjet 100 with registration RA-89009 touched the concrete runway at about midnight. The meager and narrowly focused light aircraft runway lights are virtually invisible. It seems that past you quickly sweep only their shadows. The same board even with a minimum illumination shone like the midday sun.

In my view, the bright colors - this is what is really lacking in our daily lives. In our country the 8 months of the year - from autumn to late spring - surrounding the picture due to weather reasons it becomes just black and white. I do not know about you, but I personally contemplation of nature in autumn and winter causes apathy and lethargy. And the "Super Jet" airline "Aeroflot - Russian Airlines" will now attract Peer passengers, reminding them that life is not only black and white stripes.

No kidding, a riot of folk creativity really shocked sometimes. However, when the results of the competition were announced, the judges unusual liveries were silenced in anticipation: what ultimately comes out of this whole undertaking?
