A few days ago, some of you had a pretty animate debate about soviet jets esthetics.
What about this one? Do you know if IL62 id the only jetliner who ever had 4 tail engines?
The only thing I know after one of them flew over my head at ORY ,
it’s bloody noisy !!!!!

Never actually seen an IL-62, but I once saw a Tu-154 of Balkan at LHR – only the 3 engines, but incredibly noisy. Much more so than “noisy” jets like the 737-200 or 727.
Very unsightly yellow exhaust plumes on take off also. Is this generally a symptom of crap engines or is it just a sign of age?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 09-04-02 AT 04:23 PM (GMT)]Like Mongu, the only other one I can think of is the Vickers VC-10

The Il 62 has to be one of the most beautiful a/c ever built.
