RA-85710 —

TU154...UNUSUAL TRIPLE MAIN GEAR BOGIES FOR THIS WEIGHT CLASS, ALA THE B777, BUT ONLY AROUND ONE THIRD THE MTOW OF A BOEING TRIPLER...guess achieving the lowest possible wheel loading at many Soviet airports must have been a design priority.

Fantastic shot! Chris, if you ever watch one of these take off those bogeys actually rotate upwards so the tires enter the wheel bay first!
