YAKOVLEV Yak-142 (RA-42427)

When will them Ruskies stop copy-catting aircraft designed in the Free World. This one I could name a 726-1/2

Boeing blatantly copied the 727 from the British Hawker-Siddeley Trident!

But we note , it looks like it has been re-engined. Those look like modern by-pass turbofans

wow. to be copied is to compliment the designer.
So the Russians just keep piling compliments on--Kudos after Kudos!

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

Someone said that once...

I remember seeing Mikhail Gorbachev standing in front of one of these giving an interview to CBS News right after the Soviet Union broke up. 727ski.

Copied or not anyway just a nice pic !
