Remarks: Powered by 4 × Ivchenko AI-20M axial flow turboprop engines. Note that the engine cowlings on the outboard engines are smaller than the inboard engines.
Remarks: Great ! This pic is dedicated to my friend from Moscow Oleg Revin (JP photographer too) who was on vacation in Dubai and spotting with me that day. The second IL18 of the afternoon after the Anikay Air (National Paints) a little earlier on. The 5 other spotters present that afternoon and us two were really lucky guys that day !!
