dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Used to see them all the time at Heathrow, mainly Iraqi Airways ones but occasionally Aeroflot aircraft. They are big impressive aircraft, the C17 is of a similar size. Link to post Share on other sites
Tristarcaptain 282 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I must admit that I like the Il-76. I have some photos that I took a while back. They used to go to RIAT at Fairford to support the Su-27 Flankers from the Ukraine Air Force. Link to post Share on other sites
