Kim Jong Un plane in Incheon Airport Terminal 1 Gate 9

Why I like this plane
1. Pretty much the only IL-62 operating
2. Waste of engines
3. That cockpit windows tho

Here's my not asked for, terrible transliteration!

Chin shin min chu chu ir in min kung huin kuk

I think the last part means Korean, so the kung huin might mean our leader, so fuck it, the rest means the airplane of, it's the airplane of our leader of Korea, that's what it means!!! I actually have no clue.

@gorsamp What are you talking about?

@RQZERZ i am sure you will love this plane. is there a n addon for IL-62 in FSX and P3D?

What a beautiful bird...

@intromatt
Bird == airplane ??
lol

I follow aviation news religiously and the cause of this incident was not the weight of the aircraft. A piece of debris punctured one of the fuel tanks. This is well documented online with some incredibly fascinating reads. @Nanos

The piece fell off of a Continental DC-10.... My brain is a little murky but I think that's the correct type. Additionly, the piece fell off because it was not properly welded onto the old McDonnell Douglas airliner. @Nanos

The weight difference was within allowable FAA limits. Absolutely no chance for the Concorde to do a go around and land. Impossible. @Nanos

Thanx for sharing that, this shit fascinates me. @Nanos

No chance for another 2-3 minutes of flight.. No chance at all (in my opinion). Also consider the late 50s tech in materials and construction methods and systems. @Nanos

@CozyPlanes what are your opinions on the new cockpit windows for almost every aircraft? The ones with the black padding and tinted windows on like the A350 etc. I hate it 🙃

@CozyPlanes the korean writing on the side of the plane

@RAZERZ Well, A350 is better than IL-86. lol
@gorsamp You should read as ChosunMinju ju eue in min gong hwa guk which means DPRK

@CozyPlanes well of course, or at least I hope so :p

Loss of control (hydraulics), loss of engine power....the airplane was on fire..it wasn't just the engine (otherwise the pilot could have shut down the affected powerplant and limped for a go around). Too many things went wrong too quickly....it was a dominos effect of extremes. I don't believe in luck but there was so much bad luck in this incident it almost makes no logical sense. Think..tiny piece of metal bursting a tire which popped just in a certain way to pierce the fuel tank at its weakest point which started a fire which led to loss of not only power but also control (the Concorde is not able to climb with only 2 engines...but correct me if I am wrong).
@Nanos

@CozyPlanes hey thanks, you have furthered my understanding!
