This Sudanese IL-62 (ST-PRA) will probably be the highlight of VIP Week 2006 and more than likely my personal highlight of the year. The IL-62 flew in as "Sudan Zero Zero One". It was spotted at IAD over the last few days so I was hoping that it would fly back during the days on its return trip.
As usual I will post a final report soon with pix and text when this VIP Week is over. But I had to post this particular aircraft now.
I almost missed it because for more of the approach I though the controller and Pilot kept saying "New Dawn" (EOS Callsign) as opposed to "Sudan" I realized ti was something different when the pilot switched to my other another scanner and said "Sudan Zero Zero One (HEAVY)"!
