Aviation Photo #1225220 Ilyushin Il-62M - Domodedovo Airlines

...all but the radar that is.

Fantastic shot. Always great to see these unique events with so much detail.

Nice close-up! What a severe damage of the radom!

Really great and rare shot!!!

All systems worked well??? I doubt that radar worked fully in this state.
You must mean "all vital systems worked" :-)

Aren't the pilots lucky! A few inches higher and they might have been sucked out of the cockpit by an explosive decompression! And I can't imagine the weather radar was working, the pilot probably had no idea of the extent of the damage and that's why no emergency was declared.

Hmmm.. Gremlins? Some kind of freak meteorite hit? hope they can repair it, sad to see an IL-62 go.

EURO NCAP 5 stars for the IL-62 for frontal impact!

Now we know!
The radome was damaged by statics firstly. Then airflow finished this dirty work.
About "all system worked well" - I forgot to add "as the crew said" :-)

Wow. The Russians sure make some tough ol' birds.

...except of the weather radar :)
