Kinda surprised that there aren't more Soviet aircraft on here since there were so many deadly crashes involving Soviet planes.

there aren't many large soviet aircraft that can hold a lot of people, and especially not many that were widely sold.

Surprised not many got the Tu 104. Then again, russian aircraft aren't always the easiest to name.

if you are going to refer to the A320 'family' as one type then surely the DC9 and MD80 should be combined too?
