What a rare sight!!! The last time a Ilyushin was at LAX was back in the 90s. This particular aircraft was dispatch from Russia for a medical evacuation. Check it out!

I am tongue tied! Freaking fantastic.
Wow! Haven't seen an Ilyushin-62 since Aeroflot and OK (Czech) in the heyday. I thought they were grounded or in museums. Wonder if it was a direct flight from Russia?
Wow! Had my doubts this one in particular would ever show up in the US. And here it is at LAX.
IL-62 has been to LAX in recent years though (the regular Russian Govt transport at the time).

Stunning! How I wish we had today's camera technology 30 years ago.
Stunning. I now have a new favorite Il-62 video. Never knew the tailwheel retraction was so damn slow!
