"Tu-104 became the most dangerous Soviet passenger aircraft in history. Out of 201 produced, 37 were lost in air crashes, almost a fifth. 1,137 people were killed in these catastrophes."

Quote HistoryQuoted: Skylight at the top for celestial navigation shots. That's what I assumed. A sextant (sp?). Since no controls, I assumed that seat was for navigator. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Russians had skylights for sextants on some of their passanger planes well into the era of radio navigation. So did we, all the way up until modern INS became widespread, and even a little after. |

Neat.
They must be really old, before the Soviets discovered the vast supply of blue paint that they slathered the inside of every aircraft with. |
