Cuba has purchased a top-of-the-line Russian airliner for President Fidel Castro, the BBC reported Thursday. The plane is one of two Russian planes being purchased by the communist island for a total price of $110 million.
The other plane will reportedly be used to transport Cuban workers back and forth from Venezuela.
Russian manufacturer Ilyushin said Castro`s plane was completely customized for the long-time Cuban leader and included state of the art electronics and a sofa bed.
