IL-62 landet in Berlin-Schönefeld

[@PilotOfNorway91]

Speaking of which, the crash site of LAA was 2 kilometers away from where I lived in Poland. Walked buy there many times without knowing what it really meant. :(

[@moleson2008]

Was a fantastic aircraft. Like the VC-10

...had a friend who was fortunate to have flown on an IL-62 from London to Moscow to Nairobi and back when the ID numbers were still prefixed with CCCP and the tail still bore the Soviet flag. Managed to snag me one of the emergency procedure cards.

@subprime59 Had 2 flights by Il-62 1980.It was a good plane of it's generation.

[@GKandPebbles]

But I like the noise, that's the idea of a classic aircraft.

@bobnoxadrez Tu-204, first flight 2 January 1989

[@07edwardluckett]

ALL new russian airplanes (IL-96, Tu-204 e.t.c are allowed to fly in Europe if the airline meets EASA part 145 maintenance requirements. Older aircraft, like the Tu-154 & Il-62, must also meet these requirements AND be hushkitted to meet stage III noise regulations (excempt with special permission (like in this video)). If all of this is met, there is no reason for these planes to fly over here. Now though, the airlines that do maintain there aircraft properly no loner have these old aircraft

[@abulmagd3]

that plane requires good pilots , it is not plug and play like airbus and Boeing

[@hananokuni2580]

Pity they don't build them like that anymore =(

[@bobnoxadrez]

if russia is part of europe, how the heck can they not fly there?? ILs and TUs are either owned by a russian based (majority) or other european or central american (cubana flies IL-62s to madrid i think)

[@abulmagd3]

beast !!

[@Lajkonik]

This plane was copied from one of english cargo plane from years 60. From produced 256 items fell on earth 14. In Polish Air Lines LOT in year 1980 and 1987 crashed two such planes. The reasons of crashes were drawbacks of materials in engines. Though information delivered to side Russian planes were far produced in bad quality and far fell.

[@bobnoxadrez]

i thought TU-204 was from 1970s
