![]() ![]() I don't take flying in the sim too seriously, I like to have fun. If I want to fly slow, there are slower aircraft available but with more 'character'. Tailhook, just out of curiosity why do you not like these two Cessna's? It had to be the noisiest plane I was ever on.īy the way, I also flew on the IL-72, so the description is based on my own experience.ĭon't know if this was interesting for anyone, but it was free of charge. That couldn't be said for the Tupolevs of the era, which looked like converted medium bombers (many were actually that). Its interior was spacious and comfortable and its flight was very smooth. It was a wide bodied 4 engine jetliner that copied the look of US commercial aircraft except for the T-tail. The first commercial airliner that looked more streamlined, was, if I recall correctly, the Ilyushin IL-72. The Antonovs really show this characteristic, especially, their cargo planes. Streamlining for the sake of appearance wasn't done. Their artwork, statues, buildings and aircraft almost always had a "massive" look. In order to understand why 20th century Russian planes looked the way they did, you have to understand the history and culture of the country. Not because it's russian but I just don't like the style of it Out of todays modern passenger jets it has to be the russian ones. those aircraft give me this "lonely" feeling. Specifically, I really dislike the Spirit of St. ![]() In general, I dislike anything built before 1940.
