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!
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.
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 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 Republic of Uzbekistan is the country where this unique plane was made. Huge Thanks to the Azeri brothers for keeping this plane fully operational and flying. Greetings from Tashkent.

Эти самолёты гордость Советского Союза и КБ Ильюшина, самолёт, который служит верой и правдой почти 50 лет! Строили этот самолёт в Узбекистане на заводе ТАПОиЧ в Ташкенте. Всего выпустили более тысячи бортов, сейчас продолжают летать несколько сотен. Я рад, что в моём родном городе строили этот легендарный самолёт. Жаль, что с развалом Советского Союза, разрушили и этот завод.
А разрабатывал этот самолет человек который родился в России, я понимаю если бы вы про Антонова написали. А и, война на украины была нужна для защиты интересов, поскольку войска нато хотели там расположить военные базы. И еще, наши войска делают все деликатно, наше вооружение могло бы превратить всю украину в пыль, но как видите страдает малое количество мирных жителей. А ведь мы не пендосы которые скинули ядерку на Хиросиму и Нагасаки, где погибли сотни тысяч мирных людей, а мы-то имеем такую возможность. @@mardikermardiker8514

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.
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
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.
The Soviet Union was a superpower. They perform many international missions. The pilot was very experienced. Very tough monster and his little fan in the cab. . .
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.
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.
A practical and tough aircraft, typical of Soviet design. I like the fact that all their gear from pistols to planes just does what it should in all conditions. The navigator’s glasshouse is a fantastic workspace and these guys must love their work. You are living the dream Sam! 👍🏻
After watching this video, I realise that the aircraft featured in the finale of the James Bond movie 'Die Another Day' was based on the IL-76TD-90. Many thanks for making and sharing this video, Sam Chui!👍👍👍👏👏👏
I know the lady who installed some of the gauges in the cockpit on these planes (either speed, altitude, or both). She worked for Ilyushin in the 70's and 80's at one of the factories.

What a wonderful video starring so many lovely people and such an amazing aircraft. Thanks for all those details. The end on top of the aircraft was phenomenal! Cheers from Berlin, Leonid
My 4th favorite Soviet-era plane after the (late) An225, An124 and An22. Love the crude complexity, the exposed wire and the green-blueish cockpit environment of the Russian-made aircraft.
@@andriirudenko9879 the Russian troops of the airborne brigade captured Hostomel airport, in which the plane was stationed. The Ukrainian territorial defense forces fearing the complete control of such a big and strategic airport by Russia, launched an immediate counter offensive in the airport. As a result, numbers of battles took place in the airports hangars, and one of those hangars, contained the AN-225. Since the Ukrainian intelligence couldn't effectively communicate with the UAF on the ground, the hangar was shelled since the Ukrainian side simply didn't know that the giant was stationed there.
Their commander knew.They had drones giving target info.They were trying to save their capital.Also they wanted to send a message that they will do what it takes to stay independent.Beautiful plane however. I really like the cockpit
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.

That navigator position is incredible. That's gotta be an awesome job.
Wow! Right ! Sam you have an interesting life. Thank you for sharing and thank you to your wife for helping . I'm sure she stays busy as well. Safe travels and God bless you all.
I only watch two aviation channels on TH-cam, Sam and Noel Phillips. Both cover pretty much everything I'm interested in regarding aviation, Sam for the luxury/cargo aircraft, Noel for the random-ass planes and routes he flies on. Great content Sam!
Thank you, really appreciated. Actually I cover all aspect of commercial aviation from Business Aviation to Airlines and Cargo transport.
What a great Plane to fly . I guess it's quite a powerfull feeling beeing in control of such Maschine. Thank you, Spaciba.
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.

My 4th favorite Soviet-era plane after the (late) An225, An124 and An22. Love the crude complexity, the exposed wire and the green-blueish cockpit environment of the Russian-made aircraft.
Russia kill An225 in Ukraine
@@andriirudenko9879 the Russian troops of the airborne brigade captured Hostomel airport, in which the plane was stationed. The Ukrainian territorial defense forces fearing the complete control of such a big and strategic airport by Russia, launched an immediate counter offensive in the airport. As a result, numbers of battles took place in the airports hangars, and one of those hangars, contained the AN-225. Since the Ukrainian intelligence couldn't effectively communicate with the UAF on the ground, the hangar was shelled since the Ukrainian side simply didn't know that the giant was stationed there.
@@andriirudenko9879 ukrainians take too much cocaine and heroin.
@@georgeantabi6025 their commanders might have known but they didn't care.
Their commander knew.They had drones giving target info.They were trying to save their capital.Also they wanted to send a message that they will do what it takes to stay independent.Beautiful plane however. I really like the cockpit
A marvelous airplane. Thanks for making this video.
