Russian Air Force IL-76 Wet Take Off Ostend Airport

YES!!! It took so long, but finally I managed to catch my very first Ilyushin IL76! It is such an epic aircraft to behold, and to hear with those Soloviev D30 engines! Me and my mate Jesse drove about 500km's in total today to get this bird taking off! We arrived bang on time as it was already pushed and starting it's incredible sounding engines! Moments later it taxiet towards the runway and what followed was just mesmerizing! It rotated right in front of me blowing the water of the runway in to the air, and it climbed away from runway 26 with black smoke coming from the engines. What an incredible aircraft! I hope you enjoy the video folks! One apology I do have to make though. And that is sorry for the windnoise which ruined the sound of the plane sometimes.
