That right wing sure did look close, but the Tu-154 root is longer; also, the Tu-154's nose was too long. FRPR algol's British Trident overlay in reply 72, nailed it.

Tupolev-134 more closely resembles the nose length, and is very much a low-wing design, as per the photo in post #92.

Very similar indeed.

One feature suggesting that it's a Trident, is the door at the leading edge of the left wing. The satellite pic shows the that door; it appears to be open. The left door near the cockpit, also appears to be open. In the photo with Scott Ritter, the right door near the cockpit is open.
