Thanks very much for looking, I hope you like the old work horse :)

GREETS!!

Ян, кажется большим, как всегда, мой друг! So much for my Russian! :D Good looking flight.:cool:

Is this a compliment? Huh! If not you better run Zippy!:mad:

Always complimentary! The water you flew over never even entered my mind!:D

Excellent screen shots, Peer, and a really nice looking plane. It seems strange to see a DC-3 with nose gear, but I like it. I wish it was available for FS9.

Clayton, thanks!!:) Actually, it IS available for FS9 here in the libraries. Please look in the 2004 section and search for IL-14, I think you'll like what you see.

 

Zippy: I'll call a Russian friend tonight and ask for a translation! :rolleyes:

Another fine series of pics. Jan! A very nice Ilyshin and I like the dusk sky colors too. :cool: :cool: :D I have download that, but have not installed it yet.

Thanks very much Larry :) You should try this beautiful bird, you'll love it! :cool:

'How to make a DC-3 look more Russian' they have certainly managed!

 

Very interesting aeroplane. I think you might need a large ladder to get down from the cockpit. I can't say I did very well navigating avsim.ru though.

 

Good Pics!

Very nice Jan, I never saw the Ilyshin-14 before! Looks strange to see a nose gear on a DC-3. :)

Top notch shots Jan, enjoyed looking at them!!!!!!!!!

A big THANK YOU Paul, Adam and John! :):)

 

This is the Aeroflot "Polar" livery:

Very nice post and educational to, Jan, I had no idea the Russians had a plane like that. I'm off to get it now, gotta have it, my V.A. will have a conniption when I show up in it!

 

P.S.

Glad you were able to overcome your natural urges and stay out of the water you crossed, would have been a shame to drown that beauty.

I thank you Klee :) Listen: I only had one (maybe two) waterlanding with a plane that was not an amphibian long ago, and it was NOT my fault :mad: All my landings are true pieces of art and often heroic you hear! :mad:

Here's a Russian Air Force IL-14:

 

Fantastic shots Jan! :cool:

Isn't your nickname Mr. Waterwings??:eek::rolleyes:

 

This happened when Adam borrowed it! :mad:

 

Gene, thanks for your comment! :)

 

Here's another "Aeroflot" livery:

Good looking shots and story Peer. I've never seen that plane before either....

I've seen several real DDR / East German ones in the 60's and 70's at EHAM and Rotterdam:) Thanks for your visit :)

 

Here's a DDR one:

Thanks Peer, looks great that plane, I'll keep the IL-14 in mind.

I'll keep the IL-14 in mind.
