After boarding, the cabin was very spacious, just as I predicted. The IL86 have an interesting design, have 3 doors on each side in the lower deck and is sufficient to operate in any remote conditions for passenger boarding without aerobridge or external stairs. All passenger have to board via the lower stair of the plane and store some of the bulky luggage downstairs near the door before proceed upstairs for boarding. The IL86 was parked on the remote apron and we took a bus to the remote stand and I found the IL86 in ecstasy, as it is a hybrid machine, in Vnukovo Airlines colors, with Siberia Airlines title.

The Siberia agent told me the flight has been upgraded from Tu154 to IL86 in peak summer season because of the large increase of both cargo and passenger numbers.

I have flown most western built jets and props in my life, after the Concorde to London and the B707 in Iran, I asked myself, “What’s next?” Not surprisingly, Russian built airliner came to my mind and the time was approaching Autumn, I don’t want to do this in the long cold and harsh winter, so I gathered my chances and decided to do it in September before had to wait summer. ![]() As a photographer, Soviet built planes in western country is always regarded as special and many spotters/photographer made the trip specially for them. I was speechless after the takeoff and thought that was a very close call! Since then I have paid special attention on soviet built airplane, their sheer good dynamic and versatile looks and their unique performances.
