This trip was loosely (very loosely!) based on a report of an EMERCOM IL-76 mission. The plane delivered 40 tons of supplies to Simferopol (I believe the max.payload is 100000 lb - 50 tons). The return trip flew 52 refugees to Voronezh. http://www.airmedandrescue.com/story/russia-flies-ukrainian-refugees876 This is the return trip. The tough transport plane is ready. Waiting for passengers. Taxying out. Getting her cleaned up. Goodbye Simferopol (need to get FTX Vectors or something to sort out airfield elevations! :( ) Approaching the Sea of Azov. Descending towards Voronezh. Visual for RWY12. A little high... however, we'll soon sort that out.... Told you we'd sort it! Not too many screams; not that many windows in the back! :Shame On You: Perfect 3-point landing! ON THE NOSE GEAR!! Everybody out. Preliminary inspection of the nose gear indicates it is fine. It's Russian. It can go off road. Not a problem! Thanks for viewing.

Having taken off from BGNO in terrible weather I stopped off at Thule airbase then continued with a full cargo load to Anchorage (PANC). Just a couple of shots showing the sunrise and early morning on the apron. Thanks for viewing.

In light of recent events in Italy at the Rigopiano Hotel in the Abruzzo region, I decided to utilise the IL-76 in a mercy flight to the nearest airfield with 50 tons of replacement rescue equipment and helicopter parts. LIAP appeared to be the closest airport with enough tarmac to handle the big STOL. Manchester is well known for days like this! The spotters at the Airport Hotel don't see many of these! Typical! We'll be above all this soon. Over the Swiss Alps. Beginning the descent. All dirtied up, she's got everything hanging out in the breeze! Hopefully we won't be doing any off-roading today! Touchdown! Taxiway's a bit narrow! Time to get everything unloaded. Cheers.

...for more IL-76TD cockpit photos... ...and more details as to the engine displays of the IL-76TD-90VD. I thought I would add a livery that has been missing from my L-10 hangar.

A work in progress. The model is not available yet but hopefully will be.

Thanks to Ed for showing off this awesome IL-76. Decided to take up some cargo contracting from the largest supplier of nuoc mam (fish sauce) in Ha Noi (VVNB) and fly it down to Saigon (VVTS). Enjoy as this beast climbs into the hazy and humid skies over Viet Nam.

BGNO is one of those airports which is not in the default FSX:SE, and you'll not get many commercial passenger flights to and from it. Fortunately there's a freeware airport http://scenery4flightsims.com/FSX_New_Scenery.html My decision to do a flight was based upon me seeing this video of an off-roading IL-76 ! I found out where this happened and cobbled up a cargo hop from Reykjavik to Station Nord. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrrtrRz1A2Q Preparing for departure at Reykjavik. Smoking those Solovievs! Climbing to cruise alt. Eastern coastal area of Greenland Top of descent. Good weather so far, but there's some low level (2500 feet or so) cloud at Station Nord. Speaking of clouds - not bad for stock augmented by FSOpen Clouds. Better weather than expected! Runway looks a little short for someone newly qualified on the big transport (me! Yeah right, as if... LOL) one go-around coming up! See you in a few minutes! Downwind... Touchdown. Taxiing in (strange artifact near the de-ice truck) Time to unload the supplies and warm up with a hot meal. Thanks for viewing!
