Notes:

[1400px] The Soviet beauty! After all those years, this gorgeous IL-62 still is one of my rarest and favorite catches ever. This bird came to Recife on a charter flight, transporting 150 musicians for a festival held in Cuba. Seen here ready to taxi on a rainy morning (See the takeoff pic: ID 9583979). What a thrill to photograph this exotic airliner from the Cold War era! Sadly, she's now derelict in Havana, a terrible demise for this classic...

Indeed, a very rare classic and great catch for me! Too bad so few IL-62s are still flying nowadays!
