That is cool though the pilot did not crack a smile once or at least show some enjoyment of flying such an aeroplane:hmm:

My Russian isn't too good, but I think this was the maiden flight of the restored bird and it was being taped for the Russian news. So he was probably thinking "Please don't let me mess this up."
