Description

On December 21, 1988, one of the most famous aircraft in aviation history took to the skies for the first time. Originally designed to transport the Soviet space shuttle Buran, it would go on to set more than 200 records during its operational life, which later also included commercial purposes. Until its official certification in June 1989, "Mriya" received the provisional registration CCCP-480182 for its several-month-long testing phase. During this time, it flew with a long sensor boom on its nose to collect measurement data regarding altitude and speed.
