 A visitor from United States posted Fri December 14, 2007:Love that tiny tail-strike preventing wheel. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Thu November 29, 2007: Reverse just prior to touchdown is common practice for the IL-62. | |
 A visitor from Peru posted Tue November 6, 2007:Just about to pull down the rear wheel. Outstanding aircraft. | |
 A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu November 1, 2007:I think this type only has thrust reversers on the outer engines only. Something about hot air exhaust damaging the airframe AFAIR. | |
 A visitor from Canada posted Tue March 6, 2007:Beautiful Shot | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat September 23, 2006: Lovely aircraft, its great to see something as unique as this, and an airline like Air Koryo (sadly banned in the EU!) and a wonderful photo it is. | |
 A visitor from Russian Federation posted Sat July 29, 2006:It's allowed to use reverse in the air before touchdown on this type of aircraft. It's real Russian plane:) | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat June 3, 2006: My guess is that since it has 4 engines 2 are on reverse thrust and slowing the plane down and 2 are providing thrush so the plane dosent slam on he runway. i guess its an easiae way of slowing aircraft like this. | |
 A visitor from Mexico posted Mon May 29, 2006:Hey! what's the story with the reverse thrusters before touchdown? i thought the reverses could only be activated only once the plane was on the ground! could anyone explain please? | |
