Radzi 2 Report post Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) Just think about starting a new topic to showcase aircraft that is not common here in Malaysia. Lets start with 3 russian beauties in Langkawi. This one was previously seen in BKI in 2004. Now she is back. Another charter flight. Getting ready to depart. ETD was 11am but delayed due to slow refueling. And an Indian A300. Normally seen in SIN but there is this extra flight they were doing on the 5th. Sorry for the big size photo. Malas nak resize.

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 Dan, the wheel on the back of the 'ol IL-62 is to prevent her keeling over when stopped. This would become a very frequent occurence is such a provision did not exist due to the very far aft centre of gravity, brought on by the exceptional weight of the 4 engines. While the Il-76 is a hot topic, has anyone ever had the pleasure of going inside one? I've been in the exact bird pictured (YL-LAL, of Inversija Air Cargo, at the time operating for Adagold on behalf of the Australian Defence Force). As you walk in, there is a make shift galley, with a fridge and microwave...as well a kettle on a hot plate. If you head to the nose, you climb through an engineers make shift bedroom to the engineers station. You can climb up to the flightdeck from the middle of this bedroom. If you head aft, you pass a set of 6 seats, some more bedding and reach to cargo hold, which has its own loading system, similar to a port system, albeit a very much smaller scale. Looking aft through the flightdeck escape hatch is very cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 The supporting pole in the back is used by those rear-engined aircraft, to prevent it from tipping over. cargo 747 use it too, while loading, for the same reason. Only that the one on the 747 is manually attached by the ground crew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
