  3. Hey Metin!

    Happy New Year!

    That Ilyushin is awesome! In the very beginning of my 'plane recognizing' I always mixed this one up with an A340 lol. Awesome aircraft, very wide fuselage and something different than all the A's & B's!

    Have a great year bud!

  4. Hello Julie,
    Thanks for loving my "one of gazillion perfectly posed Airliner pictures" ...:)
    I'm not sure but, Aeroflot's tail livery has always been same. But this one looks new-painted:) (and it seems like they haven't finished the painting work on the wings:) )
    p.s.
    i've entered the new year seven hours before you lol



    Hey Bas, welcome aboard :)
    Happy new year!

    Ilyushin eats more than 340:)
    And yes, awesome aircraft! Especially that great tail looks perfect :)
