Default Tupolev

Since Tupolev's are such great aircrafts, why arent they seen or use on this side of the world (e.g. U.S, Canada, etc...) Why just airbus and boeing? I've heard so much about these Russian art!

USSR was isolated from the West (i.e. Canada, diffidently US, and Western Europe), when the airplanes where in the production. Most of them where in Soviet Union lands, and some in Asia and Cuba. Now most are being slowly replaced by newer airplanes, such as the Bus (even the russians are going with the bus family, but that will change eventually with the new RRJ coming out, plus Tu204 family will get much better) Boeing or newer Tu204.

So I'm guessing we wont be getting the 154's? The age of tri-jet is offically coming to a closure
