They say the unpopularity of the Tu-114 is connected with the name of Khrushchev, who is not just a plane that in New York, for he did not have a suitable height of the ladder, and the whole of the Soviet delegation on the ground had to climb the career ladder.



That cabin with brand helm, decorated with a monogram Tu. Pay attention to the seat of the navigator in the nose cone, just like the Tu-134. Species there is certainly excellent, but to fly to Havana where I would not dare.

In grief - turkey, chicken, meat or roast beef with rice. For children was provided for a special meal: Mozhayskoye bottled milk and cookies. The staffing of the crew of the first half of the 60s was the cook.

Kasaletok did not exist - the food was served on trays flight attendants on the first (official) deck, bringing it to the second (passenger) with the help of a lift. Carts and was not - a few dozen trays had to deliver and collect manually.



A distinctive feature of the Tu-114 - a unique class coupe three berths: here passengers were given a blanket and pillow for sleeping. It is interesting that all tickets cost the same, someone lucky - got into a coupe or saloon-restaurant. During the boom air coupe and tables cleaned, interior layout in the only tourist class seats up to 224 passengers.
