Smoky old Russian airliners

[INNflight]

What do you think of those, 2 old, but beautiful YAK42 airliners, Russian power all over the place :)

C&C appreciated... not sure if I like the crop of the 2nd one.

Wow, that first one is terrific! I'd definitely have that one made into a poster if I were you. I love the blue and white contrast and the mountains in the b/g. The second one is nice, too (I like the feel of motion in that one).
