Description: A Most Unusual Ilyushin

During the 2019 Dubai Airshow, Zetavia brought one of its heavy hauler Ilyushin IL-76s for showgoers to view. Unlike many show aircraft, however, Zetavia was kind enough to let us climb inside and even into the flight deck, where we could sit in the pilots' seats and try out the navigator's station in the glassed-in nose.
