Notes:

[1400px] Surely one of the rarest and most exotic planes i've ever spotted! I woke up at 5AM, the sun hadn't rise yet and I dragged my father to the airport, so we could see this rare IL-62 departing. This Soviet beauty of Cubana performed a charter flight to Recife, picking up 150 artists for a festival held in Cuba. Seen here departing runway 18 on a rainy morning. What an absolutely wonderful plane! Nowadays, she's sadly sitting derelict at Havana...
