there is no beauty to this airplane, it was a stolen design that the rest of the world flew years before us but we were so locked down we didn’t know anything and assumed it was modern. They couldn’t even do a good job copying the design, it was a flying coffin with engines so badly designed they had to use 4 on the tail and the plane was all manually controlled, how embarrassing. But that’s what the eastern block was known for-propaganda and poorly copied Western design. the world was already flying in boeing 747s years before this pile of junk, and mind you the much older boeing 707, and 747, each sold around 1400 units (2800 combined), while the il 62 barely sold 290. Not to mention the boeing 737 sold over 10000 units. Yet the number of il 62 crashes are almost the same as the boeing planes even though there were way less il 62 in circulation with less hours of flight time per plane.
Here in 2021, I am still excited to see this aviation icon with so many stories! IL62 and MD 11 are the great passions of my life, despite this new technology of large aircraft. A beautiful, perfect and exciting part of aviation!
I believe that breaking the sound barrier over urban developments could break windows but was also informed that the noise level generated by certain Russian aircraft had a similar effect.
I remember the sound of ILs and TUs in Sofia, Bulgaria from my childhood... Every landing and take off could be heard tens of kilometers away from the airport. Fabulous, Armagedon-like noise, resembling an earthquake - it was heard throughout the majority of the city

Never forget watching these out of Johannesburg in the late 80s early 90’s. Really struggled with the hot and high issues. Take off roll went on forever, and climb was barely noticeable. Absolute minimums. Must have been operating on the very edge of its performance envelope.
@@Strellets Эта конструкция имеет существенные минусы: - утяжеление хвоста (проблема с центровкой; выше вероятность tailstrike при взлёте/посадке и пр. - из-за этого присобачили колесо на хвосте) - при разрушении двигателя(ей) высока вероятность почти полностью потерять управление, потому что могут быть повреждены рули высоты и направления - сложнее проводить работы в двигателях Это то, что вспомнил навскидку.

I think that it was just too noisy to fly to western airports and fuel economy was not so good. About 10 years ago passenger versions were for sale at $1.5 million each (operational) which meant that no-one wanted those.
These are some amazing views of the Ilyushin IL-62, great close-ups. You always manage to capture great scenes. Was also nice close up of the Qatar Globemaster too.
Great video . I remember flying on one of these from Havana to Gatwick about 10 years or so ago with Cubana when I had been expecting a DC10. I have to say I was just a little scared , but it made it . It was such a strange experience flying in virtual silence, as there you could hardly hear any noise from the engines, just wind, due to their position, not like most passenger aircraft these days with engines on the wings . A lovely aircraft . Brought back those memories .
No need to worry ! they are more reliable than the 737's and Airbus, this was the first long hall aircraft , they are deisgned to take a lot more stress than their western counterparts ! they can ladn and take off in unpaved runways , plus there is additional structural reiforcement at the bottom, if it crash lands ! --- thats Russian Engineering for you ')
Yeah, riiight... Not to mention dodgy engines and their infamous unreliability. And if one engine fails, most likely others would follow due to their proximity. These birds were often called a "flying coffins" by pilots for a reason...
mmmm check the Statistics , both for the IL62 and TU 154 , in relation to Western aircraft , take particular notice on the causes of incidents ! worth reading :)
@Adrian Wieczorek Ahhh, that old 'Russian junk libel'. Do you realize that it is statistically safer than any contemporary aircraft of similar class? And it looks even better when you are looking into the causes of accidents. Engine failures were mostly a mark of single shoddy carrier (guess which) thinking it knows better and used its own maintenance protocol.
I was really looking forward to this video. What an amazing catch buddy! Such an impressive aircraft, love that classic roaring sound :) Too bad I was abroad, otherwise I would've considered driving 300kms to catch this one. Well done!!
Aeroflot used to fly, moscou to Perú.. 26 hours flight in this plane, did that six times in the last seat... Next to the engines,.. beautiful plane, but rather simple
Back in 1980's and '90's I flew several times as a passenger on IL62Ms...a couple of times Montreal-Moscow-return on Aeroflot and many more limes Toronto-Havana-return and Toronto-Santiago de Cuba-return on Cubana. It was a fantastic airliner. Smooth and extremely quiet inside with very comfortable seating with lots of legroom. Its' truly my favourite airliner. To my mind, much nicer than the modern day Airbus and Boeings that are now ubiquitous in the airline business. I wish that the IL62 was still being produced - with modern upgrades of course - and still flying passengers!
Beautiful aircraft, was lucky enough to fly this with Tashkent Airlines a few times in early 90s!! It’s a huge plane, looks small parked to the other jets, but it’s huge!
Сергей Д look at 3:24 at the number 2 engine - there are most definitely a short burst of flames emanating from the high-pressure compressor region of the turbine
Wow, what a catch! The sound is unique as the aircraft itself. Really nice to see such a bird flying apart from the usual Airbus and Boeing stuff. Liked!
Es una de las mejores aeronaves de su época muy confiable y muy especialmente estable durante el vuelo mucha comodidad y muy buen diseño. Y muy buen fuselaje. Saludos para todos los que les gusta el mundo de la aeronáutica.
I flew on one of these things Chicago-Moscow once, in the 90s (Aeroflot, obviously). My chair was literally falling apart - but all the important things, the engines and whatnot were running like a charm.
Soviet aircraft were made to land on shitty runways. They all have that in mind in their design , even today , newer russian aircraft have way less frequency of problems due to runway debris and bird stikes.
@@jeffreyhill4695 That's not used to prevent the debris and bird strike, it's there to smooth the air and reduce the vortex. You can see a similar design on jt8d. It's a pretty old and outdated design, now they place it inside the engine and make it variable.

Such a distinctive plane.The high tail,landing gear,flaps,and that awesome cockpit.Oh,and those turbofans howling away....Used to see them at JFK many years ago.
On 30 June, a West Atlantic Airlines 737-800BCF (32740) touched down at Liege Airport (LGG) for the first time, its mission, unknown. West Atlantic’s customer, previously a mystery, is none other than FedEx. The aircraft is the first of four 737-800BCFs on firm-order with GECAS that West Atlantic will operate for FEDEX
I flew the IL 62 in 1984/85, in 1985 in a direct flight from Berlin Schönefeld to Tashkent. a wonderful plane. I didn't even notice any air holes in it when it started. a smooth, smooth flight. nice that i was allowed to experience it. In 1985 I was also allowed to board the first aerbus, the IL 86th phenomenal aircraft! absolutely smooth flight, no turbulence, nothing! we were allowed to take the luggage directly on board. it was a soviet domestic flight. greetings from helge from germany.
YOU have to be there to really appreciate the sounds of those 4 engines while taxiing, VERY distinctive hum only partially captured on this video . Nice cargo conversion as the IL-62 came with it's own built-in tail stand strut and wheel, so tipping is not an issue.
Wow what a nice looking plane! Plus 4 engines! Sounded great taking off! Bit of a bouncy landing though lol I liked when you could see the IL-62 and the DC-10 in the background!
Pretty funny seeing it operating as it should after seeing that takeoff absurdly close to the end of the runway, also loved that shot on the front landing gear being pressed down on the spool up before takeoff
Such a beauty! Old planes have personality and grace, unlike new ones, that look more like soulless pieces of scrap metal. The C-17 shown in the video is very cool too, though.
