MOSCOW, Feb. 19 - Russian budget airline Avianova announced it will be hiring clowns, actors and musicians to amuse and entertain passengers during flights.

Avianova officials said the first in-flight live entertainment will take place Saturday on a flight from Moscow to Krasnodar.

The airline said it was inspired to install stages on the planes when it was forced to reduce the number of seats from 180 to 159 because of a change in Russian customs policy.

It would also depend on headwinds direct, or not, to the runway.

s, bump.

That’s a good looking runway. Where’re the trees growing out of the craters? Wow, the markings are a vast improvement over no markings at all!

OTOH, those mere inches before the water shows they still haven’t improved their flying. I don’t know about today but back in the day there was no flying a straight line from Point A to Point B because they followed the roads. Heck, they even obeyed red lights in mid air and made 90 degree turns at the corners. No lie, to conserve fuel, they would cut their engines and you’d float down in silence, and then they’d crank them up about tree line and up you’d climb again. Total truth. I am not exaggerating.
