An IL-86 parked on the remote stand at Melbourne International Airport, Australia (don't ask me how it managed to get there with its range!).

Love this model. Lately been really getting into flying the wonderfully detailed (and free) Tu-134, Tu-154 and IL-86 models even if they're all in Russian and getting an engine started manually is a time consuming process!

We're going to need more than that one fuel truck boys!

Great shot.....when it first popped up I thought it was a photo (only the fuel truck gives it away). Well done Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Thanks all. Might have to post some more of these exotic visitors to Melbourne when I manage to take shots I'm happy with. I still can't read Cyrillic so flying these is a challenge but boy do they look and sound gorgeous.
