I just received these images of Putins new transport. Now you know, why he has been travelling so much lately. Its like, when I got my new Playstation. I also spent a lot of time with it, until I got tired of it. By the way, apparently the interior of his new Russian Air Force One was made in England.
Il-96 300 of the Russian President Putin
I found some more info on http://thrillingwonder.blogspot.com:
Construction of this plane, the equivalent of America’s “Air Force One”, started in Voronezh several years ago.A Bristol firm “Diamonite Aircraft Furnishings” has won a £10m contract to refurbish the Russian presidential plane.
“All technical information on the closed project is a state secret,” Russian NTV Mir television told viewers. Well, now’s the time to show you the first leaked-out pictures of the top-secret interior.

I wonder who irons Vladimirs shirts up there. His wife? Or his body guards?
You’ll find more photos on the following sites:

You would think that with all the money they spent on the interior, that they would have found something better than bungee cords to hold the ironing board. Heck, even straps are better, considering how bungees cords are prone to failure.
Nice blog by the way.
