Its definitely nice to look at, but its not for the passenger who is used to being in relatively noise-free cabins.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 01-02-03 AT 11:58Â AM (GMT)]Go see it Mongu before its too late! I think the IL18s operate charters in place of the TU134s. Most recent pic I have seen showed one at Beijings Capital airport offloading pax.

RE: Pic of the Day-My favourite large turboprop
I think one or two CIS carriers still use IL18 on domestic routes.I am pretty sure that the only national carrier still using them on passenger routes is Air Koryo out of Pyongyang.

Are there any airlines still using the Il-18 for passenger services?

RE: Pic of the Day-My favourite large turboprop
Nice pic of a nice plane. Where is it taken? 🙂

RE: Pic of the Day-My favourite large turboprop
True not many windows. This was the machine that I flew on to TIA. The interior was good but the lack of windows was compensated by very bright strip lighting which I seem to remember dimmed alot as the aircraft was on start up-still a thrill to fly on!

For a large aircraft it doesn’t have many windows!
