Airplane of the Day - Ilyushin Il-76

Ilyushin Il-76 navigator's view out the glass nose

Ilyushin Il-76

The Ilyushin Il-76 is a Russian air freighter. It is comparable in size to the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter and the Boeing C-17 Globemaster. It is slightly larger than the Starlifter and slightly smaller than the Globemaster. 80 of these aircraft have crashed. This high number might be due to the 46 years it has been flying, the large number produced (960), and the number sent to countries that are not known for their technical proficiency.
