Caught these over the last couple of weeks...

First, another MIGHTLY Ilyushin IL-76 (normally banned from the UK due to noise regulations), this time Yer Avia, operating a relief flight to Chad. There were also two more (Atlant Soyuz and Aviacon Zetatrans) but they were in dark hours

And secondly (and still there right now), this "brand new" but rather anonymous looking DC-8-63 of Johnson Air, registration 9G-FAB - all DC-8s are fab, its just that this one confirms that fact with its registration! ;)

Are those Ilyushin IL-76s as noisy as they look? (What a beast)

No, they're FAR noisier than they look! :D
