- Film from the Film Unit/Net archives via Ron Grier. RARE mini-promo from 1973, extolling the virtues of the then new Il-62M, which had increased range over the original aircraft. A real treat for Russian airliner fans, here's a chance to see the "M" model wearing Aeroflot's short lived "Reebok" livery. Cool, funky soundtrack, too!

A truly great airliner. Back in tjhe 1980's, I had tjhe privilege of flying twice on IL-62M's. The first time on an Aeroflot 'Montreal to Moscow' flight and the second time on a Cubana Avacion Toronto to Havana flight. Actually 4 flights in total because both times, my return flights were was also on an a IL-62M. The IL-62 was an absolutely beautiful, smooth, comfortable and internally, very quiet aircraft and both times, my flights were wonderful.
Martmns why tjhe instead of the
...but not safe. Read about the plane crash in the Kabaty forest in Poland.
In Poland they have opinions „flying coffins”
Only two crashes in so many flies and so many years: the one in Poland and the one in Havana. Impresive. This plane has one of the best safety record in the world.
The Russia VC10
I love the background music.

Like alt.country
I'm not going to lie. This is what keeps me coming back. Think the song at the end is a Polish song by Czerwony Giatry. Heard it a few weeks ago and instantly recognize it.
@@LOTIL62 Piękna piosenka
I flew on one of these from Baku to Leningrad in 1986 on a college tour of the USSR. Beautiful plane -- the engine configuration always intrigued me.
Loving the funky guitar music!
My dad went for a tour to Europe in 1975 , first stop at Moscow. By Aeroflot same as this one. Till now I am still amazed with its design of the engine at the back and the back wing at the top . I am 53! Now from Malaysia to Europe it's mostly Qatar airline.
I like how back in the day, there were jobs for everyone. Five guys in the cockpit, including a dedicated navigator and radio operator!!
Ok, Ok, now I'm convinced. I'll buy one.

So smooth flying. So quiet. Absolute gem.
Amazingly beautiful classic jet! WOW!I love how the cabin ceiling panels incorporating the enclosed lockers are a pretty blatant copy of the Boeing "widebody look" signature interiors of the early 1970s with wash-lighting, and all. I believe the subsequent interior as used by SU and other airlines was actually different when the -M entered serial production, and albeit resembling the Boeing design, it was quite a bit different..
I didn't expect a rock-a-billy soundtrack to a Soviet promo film.
That would be Oleg and his boys from Minsk.
MrShobar Really? They're known?
The Red Elvises!
Who made the song and what song is it
"Cool and funky". Absolutely!
More like "Ugly death trap"
Now THAT is a plane! Always been one of my favorites.
Brilliant clip. And that music is something else!
So happy i find this channel! Great Aviation history! :) Thanks.
Not as well known in Western countries but was competitive with anything in the air at the time. I saw one in Cuba in 2019
Very interesting aircraft! I like the looks of it. Thank you for the video upload!
It would be interesting to go back in time and visit this era as a tourist from today.
I see that there is still some politics going on with the comments. I was a career US Army Infantry officer, with the vast majority of my time spent before the wall came down. Now that I have been out for many years, thankfully all that political nonsense is someone else’s problem, and I am able to focus on beauty, wherever I can find it. Personally, the IL-62M is a mighty handsome looking piece of machinery to me. I always thought it would have been a great idea for the Russians to have kept the glassed-in navigator’s dome, despite the advance in avionics. I figured that the area could be reconfigured to make a super-first class seat for someone with say, a million flight miles on Aeroflot. Despite some similarities, I have to agree with the comments made by some folks. Each aircraft is designed for a set of purposes. It is like comparing apples and oranges to compare the IL-62 to the VC-10.
I flew on an İL 62 from Bucharest to İstanbul in Feb. 1976. It was a comfortanle Journey. I kind of liked that craft when it was the 70s.
Nice to see an open minded American who doesn’t blindly praise anything just because it is American! Cheers from Canada bru! 🍻
@@harrisn3693: Thank-you so much for the beer and your gracious reply. Personally, I really enjoy spending time viewing plane-spotting videos that are exclusively dedicated to commercial aircraft, regardless of the manufacturer, and I call things as I see them. Among the things I’ve learned from my personal research is the undisputed fact that the coolest looking aircraft are the ones that fly the best (JUST KIDDING!). I do think that the IL-62 is a very nice looking aircraft, and I can appreciate its design.
When it comes to Americans judging aircraft built outside of the US, I think it is childish. But given the anonymity provided by “RUclips”, mental pygmies are able to get away with comments without consequences. Nevertheless, I have seen this sort of immaturity generated from others hailing from outside the U.S. that are just as baseless. In fact, merely because I am an American, I have been personally attacked for the most trivial nonsense. It is as if I was the one who casted the deciding vote to mess over Bombardier and its “C” series and other disputed acts of the U.S. Of course I ignore them. I find no place for politics entering the arena of plane-spotting, which is among my favorite pastime activities. OK… I’m off of my little soapbox.
Personally, I would like to see more competition among aircraft manufacturers in order to break up this Boeing vs. Airbus domination of the industry. I wish Illyushin and Tupelov would get cranking again and bring more options on the table for us to enjoy. I really lament the absorption of so many aircraft manufacturers in the world and miss some of the really handsome looking aircraft we used to see back in the 60’s and 70’s. After all, my greatest heartthrob is the Convair 990, which was my first jet aircraft ride.
Anyway, thank-you again for your very nice reply. I did not mean for my reply to get so long, but when it comes to discussing commercial aircraft, I find myself getting really excited. I hope to read your comments in the future.
I traveled to Russia in 1985 and flew on this plane in and out of Moscow . Distinctly remember the engine configuration. It was a wild ride with Steep banking as we we landing in Moscow . Still have some " souvenirs " we kept from the the flight .
I guess for 1985 they were already quite old
It was USSR not Russia as Russia got it Independence from it only in 1991
Psychedelic Soviet music!
I hope illyushin makes more aircraft in the future

Супер! Летал на нем из Москвы в Фергану в 1990 году.
Da, Tovarich, is VC10-sky! Seriously, many of us who live in Africa have developed considerable respect for Russian engineering - it is the epitome of appropriate technology. Congratulations on sourcing such an unusual film!
I agree.
Crazy some are still actively today.
I WATCH THIS EVERY DAY
Cool aircraft! While I prefer the vc10, the two aircraft were made for different roles so I think a direct comparison is pointless. Both were great in my opinion!
MrTommyc4321 how so? purely asking not challenging
VC-10 was designed for performance on high-alt or short runways.
It was specified by BOAC that later went for 707.
The Il62 although looking simular had total different goals.
it was low tech compared to the vc10, had four engines for it's overall performance, and was made to be a rugged airplane capable for typical Sovjet operations.
Similar to the VC-10, a beautiful airplane.
ты баран. Общего там: только расположение двигателей
The more I learn about this Russian aircraft, the more I like it.
Unlike many comments below, I do not believe the IL-62 is a copy of the VC10, no more than a DC-8 is a copy
of a 707. After all, there is only a handful of possible arrangements.
That said, 54 VC10’s were built compared to 292 IL-62’s, thus the VC10 was a commercial failure. This is a shame because all Vickers Armstrong had to do was replace the four Rolls Royce Conway engines with two RB211’s to produce the very first long range, t-tail 757 back in the late Sixties! Now that would’ve been a game changer.
I love this aircraft. However my question is why did the Soviet aviation industry choose the light blue color for the cockpits of both military and civilian aircraft? Were they saving money or was that a standard choice?
I read somewhere (I think on some message board some years ago) that they choose this color as accordingly to their studies it is less offensive to the pilot's eyes. I think for the same reason Boeing uses light brown for their panels, and Airbus - light grey. Just what the respective manufacturer (or in the case with USSR and later Russia - the state regulations) believe is the most inoffensive color to the pilots eyes.
The graphic at 4:14 includes French and English captions, suggesting that this was envisioned as an export product.
It was an export product. Also, it is good practice to include international markings on charts and graphics, if nothing else it makes certification easier.
It also compares the interior with widebody Airbus models.
It was used for a short period of time
music is Elinduló by Illés
Interesting...the doors were towards the middle of thew fuselage.
And the music is really peppy!
Why is the reverse so slow? Took 15 seconds to deploy, the plane would already be in a ditch. Did they run it on lower pressure for the video? I don't get it, reverse should deploy fast. In the Learjet 24 it takes under a second.
My thoughts too!
the best of the 1st generation jets
Отличный авиалайнер
I saw lots of these sitting idle around airfields in Russia over twenty years ago. I suspect many of them were not flightworthy due to a lack of replacement parts.
Il-62 range fully loaded 6700km
Il-62M 7800km
Il-62 range 10000km
Il-62M 11050km
Classic beauty!!!

I might play this video as the promo for the plane as they still make it, but even more smexier!!
wow! how cool. does anyone know what the purpose of this film would be? to market the il62 to whom?
To other socialist countries and to other Airlines who cant't afford a Boeing. Air India leased 3 of these and used it on USSR and East- European routes.
Airbus is the best for passengers, quiet and comfortable!

I flew in one of those IL62 from Moscow to Beijing When USSR and China was still communist countries. A Piece of Museum. Nice quiet airplane.
I did the IL62 in 1974 from London via Moscow to Singapore. Had 24 hours in Moscow and not a word of English, nothing recognised like Coke, Toyota etc but still an awesome experience!
Yep That was CCCP - Me I came from Paris FR - Moscow - Beijing and when we arrived in Moscow airport they took away our passport and we had to spend the night inside the heavily guarded compound ' No restaurant no nothing - They gave us back our passport when we land at Beijing Airport. BUT they served good Vodka and we could still smoke cigarette during the 10 hours Flight :-)
I have travelled, during CCCP, from London to Calcutta by Aeroflot via Moscow and Tashkent. In Moscow, we were taken to a nearby hotel, had dinner, next morning breakfast, then to Tashkent, flied over the Himalayan mountain to reach Calcutta. On the way back, we were allowed to stop for one day in Tashkent and have seen the city.
LoneKinKong So Basically you had an experience of a high quality gulag camp
Last time i check 2018 they are still communist countries
Мой любимый!
I travelled several times on these aircrafts back in the 1970s. Before that I travelled on Il 18 turbo propellers. Great aircrafts.
The music is very nice though
Hell no wonder they started reverse thrust detente prior to landing. That cycle is about 20 seconds.
I have been trying for years to contact a qualified IL 62 pilot, with no success. There must be literally hundreds of ex IL 62 pilots in eastern europe...can anyone suggest how I can find one?
Why? Just curious.
I knew some people from my grandfather's parachute club. No English though. Why do you need this so desperately?
Try the red pages...
The only word I understood was spoiler! Cool plane though!
Lol
Наша РОДНАЯ АВИАЦИЯ!!! Лайк++++++++++++++++++++!!!!!!
A beautiful aircraft, and unlike our VC-10s.the Il-62 is still flying.
Poor man's VC10 🙂, just joking it is a very cool plane in its own right.
As successor to the popular turboprop Il-18 and with capacity for almost 200 passengers and crew, the Il-62 was the world's largest jet airliner when first flown in 1963.
Nice piece. Curious pilot yoke/wheel arrangement.
That was typical in many Soviet-era transports.
The smaller one inside is the nosewheel steering.

I like the IL-62M and the IL-96-400
I like the 400 too! The shorter fuselage of the 300 looks disproportional to me
@Adam Groppe - Ditto on that!
Extremely cool footage and sound . Love that simple glass Soviet flight deck and odd tiller .

How is it odd?
It looks really cool!! But why was it designed to have the engines at the back. Wouldn't it put more pressure on the them? They should be near the center of gravity.
Cleaner airfoil profile, and political reasons. The State wouldn't allow wing-mounted engines because it wasn't considered an indigenous Soviet design. Ilyushin eventually found a loophole when they built the Il-86 but before then, It was in the wing or up in the back.
Also, the Il-62 has a rear tail-wheel that helps balance the aircraft while on the ground.
Best plain in the world.
a beautiful airplane

Слава Советским конструкторам и товарищу Сталину 🚩
It's. A magnificent Airplane 😂,point blank,the fact that she was designed in Soviet Russia is beside the point with the comment.
Now a days the Soviet Union is one remember well by the military personnel that kept her in check against America.
This is a plane, not garbage like the French ATR-72, that frozes like a fly in Winter.
mcg160270 It doesn’t in Europe or New Zealand where they are used all the time. I fly the ATR regularly and I’m more than comfortable flying them
Atr is the ultimate trash
LOL, you gotta be kidding me. What does the ATR have to do with this? The IL-62 was actually a flying coffin. Do some research before you talk crap. That thing was probably worse than the DC-10.
@@aragornderheld The number of IL-62s built is very low, and the flights they operate even lower, so those stats mean nothing. I just remember the two horrific LOT crashes in 1980 and 1987, where everyone died, and also the Interflug one that caught fire. By your logic, the DC-10 is very safe too, isn't it?
@@VWaudiRULEs jusus christ, the ones that were built rackes up hours like crazy.
Still, is there any other country that is commercially flying the plane other than North Korea?
Тем не менее, есть ли другая страна, которая коммерчески управляет самолетом, кроме Северной Кореи?
No.
The IL-62 is too loud! Even in the inside
But it sounds just plane awesome
No, very quiet inside.
VC-10!!
Is a copy of the Il-62
they did it their way...
Looks suspiciously like the VC 10.
I had a friend who worked at an airport who used to tell me about "dumb Commie pilots in their Ilyushins."
Apparently, they would land the planes hard and flatten a couple of landing gear tires. Since they weren't standard size, new ones had to be flown in from the USSR. So the plane would be laid up in the meantime.
I thought they weren't dumb Commie pilots, but smart Commie pilots. Because while they were waiting for new tires, they could hang out in a Western city for days or weeks on Aeroflot's ruble.
Love that Lockheed Electra what an Airplane 😂.
Deadly airoplane
they actually had an excellent safety record for their time.
@@davem4143- True, just 9 of the 300 built crashed, whereas 172 of the 900 707's built crashed and were hull loses. 83 of the 500 DC-8's built were hull loses.
The ones that were built flew A LOT. Great safety record, even for today!
These aircraft sure had a lot of mechanical issues. Especially around the fall of the Soviet Union. I remember flying on one from Moscow to Tumsk. When we was in the gate the pilot walks in the cabin holding a part asking money from the passengers in order to buy another part in order to be able to leave.
There's a documentary called "Airplaneski!" and one of the interviewees had that exact story. Was it on Tyumen Airlines?
Flight controls were hydraulic/mechanical, not fly by wire. Wresting this huge airliner, the world's largest serial production airliner till the 747, required a strong pilot. IL-62s were typically given straight in approaches. Flying approaches based on published IFR approach profiles was normally deemed way too much of a workout for IL-62 pilots.
Yeah, what a beautiful piece of engineering... Indeed, especially crashed into pieces, killing everyone on the board, because of low production quality standards in the factory + placing all the engines next to each other is brilliant - when one explodes, it destroys also the rest of them. What a machine...
Neither aviaexport nor USSR anymore! Whom to communicate with for possible purchase business?🤔

В какой из западных стран он летал вне советского блока? Не похожа ли история с нашими нынешними самолётами типа суперджета и будущего мс 21 на рынке западном? Они востребованы нами только внутри страны и если в СССР это понимали, то 90 е был вообще крахом, сейчас хоть обязуют закупать иначе суперджет также вошёл в историю как и ту 334 один два сделали и все.

Well designed airliner received a less-deserving reputation because of less adequate engines and two terrible crashes with LOT.

The airframe was really good looking but the aircraft itself was very faulty. It did kill many passengers and crew due to it’s poor quality ( 1972 Interflug, 1980 LOT Polish, 1987 LOT Polish and many others)
Oh, those Russians...
Plane without slats.but with aerodinamical teeth
Ahhhhh beautiful 70s music when only rich people took heroin
I don't understand a single word lol
При всей изящности очертаний, машина принесла братским социалистическим странам по рекорду на число погибших в один приём. В Германии, причём, этот рекорд не побит до сих пор с учётом всех происшествий с флотами и ГДР и ФРГ.
Какой ещё рекорд? Ил-62 падал всего 2 раза - в Польше и Хаване. Даже если это не точная информация, случаев крушения однозначно было меньше чем боингов-767 и эйрбасов320
flying casket, many people died because of that soviet era engineering.
False. It had a great safety record compared to other aircraft, especially from the time.
Soviet engineering was one of the best in the world
This is some weird music.....

It's a mattere of time and Russia will use this old airplanes again when it is completely hermetic isolated from the rest of the world.
Didn’t the commie Soviets just copy the VC-10 on this one?
You should read about the structure and technical characteristics. These planes have more differences than similarities, and they are similar only in appearance
Why Aeroflot No Russia Invasion Ukraine #SaveMariupol
RUSSIAN VC-10!!!!!!!
I'd rather have a VC-10.
VC-10 is a wonderful airliner I love it very much, but IL-62 is better in many aspects including aerodynamic. Although VC-10 used to have a better avionics..
VC-10 transported 150 passengers on distance of 6 275 km.
IL-62M transported 186 passengers on distance of 11 050 km.
For all the time of operation ~7,5% of VC-10 airplanes have been lost.
For all the time of operation ~7,5% of IL-62 airplanes have been lost.
Except it's a fucking copy of the VC-10 just like most Soviet aircraft were copies of successful American and European aircraft. I hate Russian aviation with a passion
Richard F. Stripe The American aircrafts could not be an example for copying. The Russian aircrafts (both civil and militaries) simply surpasses the Americans in characteristics. So there could be no copying. The copy cannot be better than the original.
Андрей Самодуров Then why does Russia have the worst aviation safety record of any other country? Why can I name at least ten aircraft off the top of my head that look almost *exactly* like other aircraft that came out after their counterparts? Not to mention the fact that many have already been proven as copies.
