Far as the Russian plane, sounds like it was iced up to me.
Y'know, I never had a problem hopping on a 141 or C5A. So, you get a web seat and box lunch? I didn't get on for some faux luxury. USAF pilots get it in the air and boogie. They're not getting paid by the hour, nor does my leave on the books care whether I get where I'm going in 12 hours or 3 days. Screw that noise. I'll take the web seats and noisy monster machine.
Those little bitty commuter planes are sardine cans that can't handle turbulence. I have no idea who they built them for. Japanese people? I don't consider myself THAT big and I don't fit in the damn thing. I end up sitting with my shoulders at a 45 degree angle.
