90 Minutes Aviation, today only with east european planes. I enjoy the most filming unique and rare planes. The An74 with the red nose is the perfect example for that. The aircrafts` s nickname is “mickey mouse plane“ and there are not many of these An74 planes left in the world. There are just two of them left in europe, one is flying for Motor Sich and the other one for Constanta Airlines. The engines are above the wings because the plane was designed to land on unpaved runways and the gravel from the ground couldn` t reach the eninges that easy. Another amazing plane I featured in this video is the Tupolev TU154 which visited Cologne a few times in 2020 and 2021. Although I took pictures of lots of TU154 when I was younger I only managed to film two Tu154s in my planespottering “career“. Besides the one from Cologne I saw a slovakian TU5 at Eindhoven once. Also note that the Tupolev opened its reversers before touching the ground which is quite characteristic for this aircraft type. Just like the TU154 the Ilyushin IL62 also opens its reversers before touching the ground which looks quite amazing. I managed to film a IL62 Freighter of Rada Air a few times while it operated several cargo charter flights to airports in my area. Amazing looking plane and one of my favorite airplanes besides the IL76 and the Douglas Dc-8. Thanks for watching, new videos every tuesday and friday. Airports.
