Notes:

This fantastic 'Mystic-A' was designed in the Soviet Union as a high-altitude geophysical research aircraft. It seams that only two were built and this unit can be found at the Central Museum of the Air Forces in Monino. It broke a lot of world records, one of them being 71,620 ft of altitude.
