This Ilyushin IL76 of Zetavia visited Eindhoven Airport on a cargo charter flight. The weather during its departure was quite bad but I enjoyed filming this classic IL76 jetliner during these weather conditions. The sound was incredible becasue most IL76 Freighters still use the classic engines. There are some modified Ilyushin engines which almost sound like an Airbus. Silk Way and VDA use a few of them.
My favorite airplanes are the Douglas Dc-8 and IL76TD. Whenever one of these aircrafts show up in my area I drive to the airport and try to film them. I have to admit the Dc8 has become a rare sight since Nasa retired its last Dc-8 last month and there are just three Dc-8 which are currently active. The IL76 on the other hand is an aircraft which can be seen quite ofter if you are in africa or the middle east. Lots of IL76 are based in the UAE and they even provide maintenance for these classic planes at Fujairah and Sharjah.
I also added other Il76TD aircrafts I have filmed within the past years. The Aviaocon Zitotrans Il76 which passed quite low above my head was a great sight aswell. Obviously the sound becomes even more intense if you stand right beneath the plane.
Thanks for watching, new videos every tuesday and friday.
Airports: Eindhoven (EIN/EHEH), Leipzig (LEJ/EDDP)
