Survivors?
How many of these aircraft survive? --Ragemanchoo 13:25, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Headlights in the landinggear?
The Tu-114 had two headlights attached to the nose landinggear, never seen that before as I recall, was it unique for the Tu-95/Tu-114? RGDS Alexmcfire
- Try Super-Connie. rgds, 46.115.51.105 (talk) 00:58, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
Noise
Where these things as loud and damaging to hearing as the Bear bomber, or was that patched up for the civilian version? - MSTCrow 00:42, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Soviet/Russian Government Transport Version?
I could swear that one of these was "Russian Air Force 1" for Boris Yeltsin at one point. I seem to remember an incident at Denver International Airport when Yeltsin's plane (after he met with the US President in Colorado) had to wait for the temperature to cool off a bit so the plane could take off at our pressure altitude with enough fuel onboard to get back to Moscow non-stop. This would have been in the mid-1990's. 147.145.40.44 22:46, 14 March 2007 (UTC) I doubt it, they used the Il-96 back then as president transportation. RGDS Alexmcfire
RuAF 1? No chance...
I don't think Tu-114 was ever used in VIP transport role . At least not into the 80/90s...
Also I think, the word "The Soviet Government Instructed the..." to "Tasked" will suit the tone of the narration with reminder of the article..

Speed Record
The record(s) of 09/04/1960 is 877.21kph according to the reference #2 at the bottom, not the 857.277 in the article. ???? AMCKen (talk) 21:35, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, the 5000-km record is faster; that speed is the relevant one. Tim Zukas (talk) 20:22, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
