Moscow Urban Legend

[Edward M Dumanis]

I am sure that it is an urban lelend that is discussed but my surprise is
that "uletet'" was used in the given expression rather than "letat'".
The expression "letat' na fanere" was (is?) used to describe flying on an
unreliable aircraft, as many of you might very well know. I have never
heard "uletet'" but can imagine that it could be of use as well.

Sincerely,

Edward Dumanis <dumanis at buffalo.edu>
