Ilyushin Il-62 @ JFK

[Jonesbeach]

Right around 9:30 this morning an Ilyushin Il-62 taxiied past T8 & 9 at JFK. It was one of the Russian state owned jets. Very nice. It figures I didn't have my camera with me. I took the Airtrain around the airport, but couldn't find it. Does anyone know what its doing here? If you want to know what it looked like, here's a link to an Anet picture.

Wow! I haven't seen one of those in years! Too bad he didn't come in last weekend when the whole crew was out spotting.
