In the early 90, as a journalist, I flew with such a beast to Bangladesh (packed with relief goods), after a devastated cyclone hit the country. We landed in Dhaka during a fierce tropical thunderstorm (child's play for our Russian pilot).

This aircraft is a legend. More than 1000 of them were produced and they are flying in almost every country of the world. Russia is about to release new modernised version of this legend.
Great video Sam! That landing in Iraq was butter. I love the gray haired guy(manager/owner) that you've had on a few times. He's so enthusiastic and seems to love showing people what his folks do.
Fans of the IL-76 should check out the 2010 movie "Kandagar" about an IL-76 forced to land in Afghanistan by the Taliban. It is based on a true story and the diary of the Captain of the plane. The crew were held hostage for over a year, but eventually managed to escape in the plane! Its an incredible story with lots of great footage of our favourite plane. :)
Boy, I could tell you a great story about an IL-76 experience I had a long time ago, but I better not. Suffice to say, it is a very impressive and solid airplane with "quick disconnects" everywhere, if you know what I mean. It was nice to revisit this wonderful aircraft here with Sam giving the tour. I remember the incredible APU's capability at heating things up quickly inside a pretty much frozen airframe. I also remember the heavy two piece rivetted aluminium intake covers, but they did their job well in a snow storm. I remember being impressed at the common sense layout of the cargo bay. A true work horse ready for anything, anywhere. Thanks for the tour!
I have flown (deadheading) three times on this very same aircraft, when I had to go to pick up our B747 in Afghanistan and in Iraq. Sam, this video brought very good memories, thank you for sharing. Awesome views from the navigator area. Awesome video
The navigator’s “window” reminds me of the B-17. I was privileged to be able to fly in a B-17 many years ago at the annual air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
What a treat, eh!? I flew on Thunderbird in Houston Texas during the Wings over Houston airshow in October 2008. I had gone on board years before that flight as a guest just to see the inside of a B-17. I had flown to Ellington Airfield in my club airplane that day. It was a chance happening that the bomber was outside during a maintenance cycle. Much smaller inside than one would imagine. In flight, it's a solid flying machine!
I worked for silkwaywest and fornately had a chance to look around IL-76. All crew members on IL-76 were just wonderful. I could feel their love and passion for this airplane. Sam you remind me of my joyful memories with SWW. Thank you !
Very nice man! First time I've seen a re-engined IL-76. It looked to be in really good shape. You did a really good job of getting to know the plane and its crew. That company must love your videos because you made them look very sharp and professional.
I have flown with this model in Greece in the fires of 2020...i was the first and only coordinator who ever did a drop of 42 tons of water in Greece!...Amazing aircraft and very different way of flying,....
This was an absolutely superb episode! Everything about this episode was perfect. The individual crew members are amazing characters in themselves. This could be a discovery channel show! Great showmanship Sam!!! Bravo!
Just saw one of an Antinov cargo aircraft parked in ?cargo tarmac area at BWI airport in Baltimore when I was taxiing for take off! Told my sister , look at that beast! Have no idea what was being transported but that was really a treat to see in person. Just fascinating all the tires. Glad I don’t have to change them! Thanks Sam for introducing this cargo these planes to your audience.

Эти самолёты гордость Советского Союза и КБ Ильюшина, самолёт, который служит верой и правдой почти 50 лет! Строили этот самолёт в Узбекистане на заводе ТАПОиЧ в Ташкенте. Всего выпустили более тысячи бортов, сейчас продолжают летать несколько сотен. Я рад, что в моём родном городе строили этот легендарный самолёт. Жаль, что с развалом Советского Союза, разрушили и этот завод.

Sam, I`ve travelled numerous times on the Russian IL-76s from Sharjah-Kabul back in the day. Very hot but a very strong aircraft. Great view straight down especially flying over Iran.
The best video of IL 76 TD inflight experience of yours remembered back my olden days' of my experience too in IAF IL 76. It's very reliable and very strong build aircraft. Enjoyed watching. One thing to light those days Russian/ azal crews don't speak fluent English but from your video it's well proved their level of English is surprised.
What a treat. The IL-76 is old school flying at its best. A handsome, practical, strong aircraft. Those Soviet designers knew what they were doing. Love the high wing configuration.
A practical and tough aircraft, typical of Soviet design. I like the fact that all their gear from pistols to planes just does what it should in all conditions. The navigator’s glasshouse is a fantastic workspace and these guys must love their work. You are living the dream Sam! 👍🏻
This is update ver. Il-76td90 with newer engines (PS90) and redesigned wing. They moved most of its drawing to CAD/Cam system. Which took some time. They are build 2-3 per year now
I call this aircrast an owl - it has large heavy wings and a short tail. That was really inspiring flight, thank you for this opportunity to watch it by your eyes!

That landing in Baku really cracked me up! The Pilot in Command is holding the yoke; the First Officer holds his yoke too, and the Flight Engineer handles the throttle levers. All that remains is for the Navigator to play saxophone! 😂 "You have control. I have control. WE have control!" 😂😂😂

Wow! Right ! Sam you have an interesting life. Thank you for sharing and thank you to your wife for helping . I'm sure she stays busy as well. Safe travels and God bless you all.
Flying museum..love the airmanship 👏🤝
Airplanes & aircrew members, what could be better? Really enjoyed this video. Just goes to show people worldwide are all good people. Man! What a great job to fly in planes interview the crew for video.
That landing in Baku really cracked me up! The Pilot in Command is holding the yoke; the First Officer holds his yoke too, and the Flight Engineer handles the throttle levers. All that remains is for the Navigator to play saxophone! 😂
"You have control. I have control. WE have control!" 😂😂😂
Everybody has control looool. What a beast. It feels over the top and so amusing. Soviet aviation is something to behold.
AMAZING!!
Well done, Sam and Sam's dad! Thank you very much for this wonderful video!
