Huge russian aircrafts, what's not to like about them...

Especially the Ilyusjin Il-86 ( Hope i got that right )

I Took it from Belgium (EBBR) to Frankfurt am Mainz. Short hop, but very rewarding!

At the gate, impressive next to a 737



Taxiing... same 737



Towerview on take-off... Lots of spectators



And up in the air, Big bird, so easy on the stick...



Turning towards the East ... Germany awaits us.



Some time later on the flight ... passing das Ruhrgebiet



Closing in on Frankfurt ... mighty thunderclouds dead ahead...




Detailed clouds can be a FPS-bug in the a..! But it makes such pretty sights i just can't take there detaillevel down...  8) So forgive the rough edges!

The Ilyushin is nice, but err isn't a Crazy Ivan a submarine manouevre for shaking off a tail?

Yes, but you don't see any American subs tailing my bird now do ya?  ;D

If someone can make one for FS9 I'll see what I can do
Be scared, be v.v.afraid

Nice!  :)

superb shots omag it's a real nice bird indeed

Still flying the old one, Omag?
There is a new one out for a month or so, which looks a little better
