ChernayaAkula Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) Beautiful pics, Chris! The lighting in the last two is brilliant! Edited July 19, 2008 by ChernayaAkula Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ishthe47guy Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Thanks Moritz. I never noticed the lighting until you said something. Those two were taken during the early eaving, around 7PM local. The first three were taken around 6AM local. There was a lot of dust in the air that day, as you can tell. Chris ish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Russian pod has a square cross section, the Israeli pod is more rounded...... Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vesper Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Another question, whats the model difference between the Candids that have the rear turret & the ones that dont? Are there any other external differences between the 2? Ves <_< Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Another question, whats the model difference between the Candids that have the rear turret & the ones that dont? Are there any other external differences between the 2?Ves The whole area of Il-76 designations is a bit of a minefield - as is true for most Russian aircraft!!! Basically, there is the Il-76M (modified/upgraded) and Il-76MD (Dalniy/long range) - these are the miltary variants with tail turrets. Then there is the Il-76T (transport) and Il-76TD (Transport Dalniy) - this is the purpose-built civil version - with a neat fairing in place of the tail turret. But - there are lots of ex-miltary Il-76s out there - that have various styles of faired-in tails, ranging from just painted over windows to complete conical replacements. The designation written on the front fuselage doesn't help much either - there are Il-76TDs with tail turrets and Il-76MDs without..... I can recommend Aerofaxs book(let) on the Il-76 - it's all explained in there.... Ken Edited July 24, 2008 by Flankerman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

janman Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Beautiful photos, Moritz. Thanks for posting. Believe or not, that snowy scenery is something we haven't often seen in recent years here in the Southern Finland. Ah, those rugged Russian aeroplanes! :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
