Comments: The Tupolev 114 Rossiya was once the pride of the old Aeroflot fleet, being the fastest propliner ever built. After airline service this example was used as an instructional airframe, fitted out as a classroom at Moscow's Vnukovo airport for many years, afterwhich it was put up for sale for $100,000. With no buyer forthcomming the axeman moved in June '06. See Photo ID 1015769 (aircraft before the axeman started)
