Never thought I would be saying this, but welcome to a spotting topic from Rockford, Illinois! Today, a Volga Dnepr IL-76 landed in Rockford, which meant that not only was I there, I and a few other OAW (O’Hare Airport Watch) members were given access to go airside. Because this is just one plane, my spiel ends here, and the photos begin here!

Such an awesome plane! Awesome that you were allowed to go airside.
Still hoping I can see this thing sometime myself.

That is just a really impressive aircraft! I’d like to see one of them irl!
Doesn’t Brussels get the AN-225?

Brussels has never gotten the An-225, and most likely never will.
This one though, the Il-76, has come here a few times, I was just never able to see it because of school. Same with other Soviet-era aircraft.
