RA-76951 (cn 2073421704) (Best at 1152.) Taxiing out for a runway 24L departure, this Volga-Dnepr IL-76 was recently fitted with with Aviadvigatel PS-90 engines allowing it to operate into noise sensitive Stage III airports. I'm happy to say, I was caught in the jetblast by this aircraft as it turned out...I think I deserve a geek merit badge for that!

Chuck was like like a kid in a candy factory on the ramp. Timing is everything!

I take off to Detroit for one day and end up missing this. It's not funny! Actually it is.
