LOVE this aircraft. Literally. Jumped from it as a paratrooper, flown in it as a passenger, loaded it as an airline official. Almost fell from the top once. Love of my life.
Da komrad, we air dropped baboushks full of vodka and crates of pickles all-over the glorious republic for many years. Now, komrad, we drop metric boat loads of vodka all over our vast nation, drink up Russian solders, da komrads, long sleep the socialist republics hardest working soldiers!
In the early 90, as a journalist, I flew with such a beast to Bangladesh (packed with relief goods), after a devastated cyclone hit the country. We landed in Dhaka during a fierce tropical thunderstorm (child's play for our Russian pilot). I was sitting with the navigator and had an awsome view (through the windows below our feet) of the rain and lightning flashes and the extremely bumpy landing on a flooded tarmac... Never forgot that flight because I was scared like hell!

This aircraft is a legend. More than 1000 of them were produced and they are flying in almost every country of the world. Russia is about to release new modernised version of this legend.
Fans of the IL-76 should check out the 2010 movie "Kandagar" about an IL-76 forced to land in Afghanistan by the Taliban. It is based on a true story and the diary of the Captain of the plane. The crew were held hostage for over a year, but eventually managed to escape in the plane! Its an incredible story with lots of great footage of our favourite plane. :)
Great video Sam! That landing in Iraq was butter. I love the gray haired guy(manager/owner) that you've had on a few times. He's so enthusiastic and seems to love showing people what his folks do.
Boy, I could tell you a great story about an IL-76 experience I had a long time ago, but I better not. Suffice to say, it is a very impressive and solid airplane with "quick disconnects" everywhere, if you know what I mean. It was nice to revisit this wonderful aircraft here with Sam giving the tour. I remember the incredible APU's capability at heating things up quickly inside a pretty much frozen airframe. I also remember the heavy two piece rivetted aluminium intake covers, but they did their job well in a snow storm. I remember being impressed at the common sense layout of the cargo bay. A true work horse ready for anything, anywhere. Thanks for the tour!
I have flown (deadheading) three times on this very same aircraft, when I had to go to pick up our B747 in Afghanistan and in Iraq. Sam, this video brought very good memories, thank you for sharing. Awesome views from the navigator area. Awesome video
The navigator’s “window” reminds me of the B-17. I was privileged to be able to fly in a B-17 many years ago at the annual air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
What a treat, eh!? I flew on Thunderbird in Houston Texas during the Wings over Houston airshow in October 2008. I had gone on board years before that flight as a guest just to see the inside of a B-17. I had flown to Ellington Airfield in my club airplane that day. It was a chance happening that the bomber was outside during a maintenance cycle. Much smaller inside than one would imagine. In flight, it's a solid flying machine!
I worked for silkwaywest and fornately had a chance to look around IL-76. All crew members on IL-76 were just wonderful. I could feel their love and passion for this airplane. Sam you remind me of my joyful memories with SWW. Thank you !
Very nice man! First time I've seen a re-engined IL-76. It looked to be in really good shape. You did a really good job of getting to know the plane and its crew. That company must love your videos because you made them look very sharp and professional.

Just saw one of an Antinov cargo aircraft parked in ?cargo tarmac area at BWI airport in Baltimore when I was taxiing for take off! Told my sister , look at that beast! Have no idea what was being transported but that was really a treat to see in person. Just fascinating all the tires. Glad I don’t have to change them! Thanks Sam for introducing this cargo these planes to your audience.
Ah just a wonderful video, it was very interesting to discover that, this airplane has a special throttle management and a lot of equipments for navigation (built-in gps+ 2 other systems). It is very good looking delta wings on the top. As you said it is a beast. Nice experience for me, I discovered this beautiful machine. Thank you.
What a treat. The IL-76 is old school flying at its best. A handsome, practical, strong aircraft. Those Soviet designers knew what they were doing. Love the high wing configuration.
This is update ver. Il-76td90 with newer engines (PS90) and redesigned wing. They moved most of its drawing to CAD/Cam system. Which took some time. They are build 2-3 per year now
That landing in Baku really cracked me up! The Pilot in Command is holding the yoke; the First Officer holds his yoke too, and the Flight Engineer handles the throttle levers. All that remains is for the Navigator to play saxophone! 😂 "You have control. I have control. WE have control!" 😂😂😂
The best video of IL 76 TD inflight experience of yours remembered back my olden days' of my experience too in IAF IL 76. It's very reliable and very strong build aircraft. Enjoyed watching. One thing to light those days Russian/ azal crews don't speak fluent English but from your video it's well proved their level of English is surprised.
Sam, I`ve travelled numerous times on the Russian IL-76s from Sharjah-Kabul back in the day. Very hot but a very strong aircraft. Great view straight down especially flying over Iran.

It always amazes me sometimes the front landing gear touches down before the main gear ,the smoke from the front tyres was seen in this video before the rear had touched down brilliant ❤

I envy you your flight in an Il-76 - it is one of my favourite aircraft. The crew seemed a nice bunch too.
Well done, Sam and Sam's dad! Thank you very much for this wonderful video!

Most Fabulous Video on Planes we are not familiar with.Great Detail.
Sam you out did yourself!!!!
The engineering in this plane is just surreal 🤩🤩
Děkuji. Same. To bylo nádherné video !
This specific IL-76 travels to Israel a lot (4K-AZ100), I managed to film it twice as I recall, what a beautiful machine
One of my favourite planes EVER! You get a joyride on one in Minsk I have seen. это очень красивый!
Это уже модернезированый 76ой, с ПС90 и грузоподъёмность до 60 тонн, даже С17, отдыхает. 76ой хорошая машина!
Экипаж бы сократить с новой авионикой
Этот до 47Т. До 60Т модификация МФ
@@ouueee самолет надо новый с нуля, и экипаж не такой уж дорогой.
It always amazes me sometimes the front landing gear touches down before the main gear ,the smoke from the front tyres was seen in this video before the rear had touched down brilliant ❤
