60 Minutes pure aviation, today with rare planes at Maastricht. The dutch airport had some special visitor within the past years and I sumed up the best airplanes which visited the small airport near the german boarder during the last years. The first aircraft show here is an Ilyushin IL62 Freighter. Currently Rada Airlines is the only operator of the IL62 Cargo and they operate two aircrafts. They also bought two pax IL62 but only for parts. They recently the former Republic of Gambia IL62 to an airport in Belarus for spare parts. The sound of this Ilyushin is incredible.
I also ejoyed the size comparison between the Ilyushin and the Boeing 747-400 Freighter while it was taxing to its parking position. Maastricht used to be a great place it you are interested in Boeing 747` s. There was a time in 2021/2022 when we had up to 7 B747` s on a daily basis at the airport. Currently only Rom Cargo is still flying to MST with B747-400 aircrafts. Geo Sky used to operate three weekly flights with the B/47-200 Classic but the airport banned the aircraft due to new noise regulations.
I always enjoy filming at Maastricht because you are quite close to the action. they only have a single runway and you can just stand right nex to the runway and film heavy planes.
