TU-154 is a gas guzzling loud beast that is currently the fastest cruising airliner since the Concorde left service.

Which may barely get it off the ground loaded with no flaps and crash soon after.

I like your line of thought. An old Soviet airliner like that probably requires special procedures to fly and lacks the safety features of modern airliners.
