Loving how 'relaxed' the locals are, just taking videos and such.

As for the Il-18, absolutley fabulous aircraft and very, very sturdy. I flew on a LOT Polish Airlines one back in 1988 and was lucky enough to spend some time on the flight deck. I remember very vividly talking to the captain and him introducing me to the first officer, flight engineer, radio operator and the navigator who was sat at her own desk plotting the route the aircraft was taking over Central Europe!

Ignoring the instructions from Air Traffic Control, no doubt.
