A Russian military VIP IL-76 and a TU-154 have flown into the US and Syria possibly on diplomatic missions as the Ukrainian situation worsens for both sides. The tracking of both was done by CivMilRadar on Twitter. The IL-76 went to Washinton DC and the TU-154 to Damascus. SEE Video shows giant AN-225 burning  Here is the IL-76's flight path..

Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world. Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL, and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations, as well as the airlines, own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate. Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 percent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low cost, regional, and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.
