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?
A visitor from Israel posted Tue September 20, 2005: Wow!,reverse before landing!?,why?
A visitor from France posted Fri August 26, 2005: Reverse before landing
