Interflug IL-62 lands on field

DDR-SEG featured on the cover of an October 1985 Interflug publication

Perhaps it's because I'm a fan of Soviet aircraft, but I couldn't resist posting about these videos that I came across recently, which show an Ilyushin IL-62 from the now-defunct East German airline Interflug landing on a field. Apparently the story goes like this: On October 23, 1989, aircraft DDR-SEG was landed (intentionally) on a 900-meter grass runway at the Stölln-Rhinow airfield, north-west of Berlin. The aircraft was put on display and can still be viewed today (there's a museum there). It's also used for weddings.



Interflug IL-62

It's been a slow past few days in terms of news, so here's an interesting video clip featuring defunct East German airline Interflug. It's the opening titles from the East German TV show "Treffpunkt Flughafen", which appeared on TV from 1985 to 1986, a show which followed around the crew of an Ilyushin IL-62.
