Thijs Postma - Poster - Tupolev Tu-104 Taking Off USAF Thunderbirds some never before seen atSee the Aeroflot Tupolev Tu 104 with registration CCCP L5445 taking off! If you want one of the earliest jet airliners on your wall, this is the one to get. The Tupolev Tu 104 was only the second jet airliner in the world after the De Havilland Comet. And due to the grounding of the DeHavilland for safety reasons, the Tu 104 was the only jet airliner in the world between 1956 and 1958!
