These 2 are interesting.......IL-76 and SU-7

I do like the IL76 , had one on the ramp three fours back at CHCH , the SU-7 .. the plane you could do 'push-ups' on its pitot tube !

Love the il-76 I have that model but never have been able to find the panel and gauges to make the VC work,..very frustrating !.Prolly one of the most used jet freighters in my FSX hangar still thou lol

The Candid looks like a heavyweight lifter but I was surprised to see it's only about the same size as a B707.
Did you know: After hurricane Katrina, the Russians (for the first time ever) sent 2 of these over to assist with humanitarian aid to the US!

Another Russian Ive seen in action ..the IL-76. Nice pics Marty and Adrian.

It looks like you're really getting into the Russian iron! Looks like fun!

Sean....it all started one night when i had a vodka or two with my russian flatmate, who is fast becomeing a simmer . He was telling me..."look for this" or...."try this , much better than american copy" But they have made some great aircraft.

I wonder what will happen if i sip saki with the other japanese flatmates......now there's a thought

Nice shot Adrian, they remind me of the C-141.
