[Пилот]

This is large plane was proect and made by constructors of Ilushin's plane's factory in 1976. The first flight was on the 22 of December in 1976. Today you can often fly to Turkey and to Egipt by IL-86.
I like this plane. In fact it's my favorite plane. And what do you think about it?

The Ilushin-86 was the first soviet wide-body jet airliner. I like it! But this plane has a very large level of noise!

Are all 86's today in charter traffic or can you still get a ticket to a regular scheduled flight? What airport is the best option to go spotting IL-86's?

vlaakko,
As I remember, today you can catch IL-86 on the regular flight of 3 Airlines: Ural Airlines: Yekaterinbourg-Moscow, S7 Airlines: Novosibirsk-Moscow , Aeroflot-Don: Moscow-Simpheropol. But it is normal that the schedule is frequently changed to another type of aircraft

The IL-82 is indeed a beautiful aircraft. But I like more the following ones:

AN-12/AN-24&26/AN-72/AN-124/AN-225 and the "Beast" IL-76.

There seems to be one non-russian airline that has IL-86 in it's fleet today and that's Yuzhnaya of Kazakhstan. I cannot find any pics or information about this plane, so does anyone of you know where they fly with this bird or is it even active?

It`s my favorite aircraft too! I have flown by this IL to Simpheropopl (2 flights), to Antalia (6 flights) and to Egypt (4 flights).
Airlines: Old Aeroflot and Pulkovo.

Beautiful Airplane!
