June 25. 1987

Before operating the Tupolev 154 itself, LOT Polish Airlines leased

a few samples from Aeroflot, including CCCP-85455, painted in

full colours with "Operated by LOT from Aeroflot" titles. On that day,

it was probably flying an extra or charter flight and is seen together

with the regular Tupolev 134A SP-LHG.
