That was actually from the UN week in 1998, when they diverted to Flushing Airport.
Incredible video. Looks like a toy.

Just for those not knowing the background of this video...
Itīs not been an emergency landing but intentionally !
The aircraft just made its last flight to become a restaurant at this tiny airfield in Germany in 1989 or 1990 AFAIK. The airfield is located at Stolln (eastern part of Germany) and the IL-62 is still there in use as a restaurant !
To make it happen the dedicated crew made lots of calculations and the whole cabin interior was removed to reduce weight. As it was deemed as viable they just made it...
