Thank you a lot. Amazing landing.

BTW, Il-62 in Monino museum (Russia Airforce Museum near Moscow) and other aircraft also landed on the grass runway (there is no paved airstrip near Museum). Even Tu-144 did it! Although Monino runway was longer.

One Lillenthal standard glider is exhibited in Moscow, in Zhukovskij memorial museum. Russian aerodynamist Nikolai Zhukovskij visited Lilienthal in Germany and bought (or it was a gift, it was many years ago 🙂 ) it.
