Farewell Grixona IL-18 ER-ICB PART 1 is a four part show specially for the IL18 connoisseur filmed by Daniel Frohriep-Ichihara.

According to Steve Kinder, this program is a “treasured memory of the last international charter flight of IL-18 ER-ICB in September, 2010 from Chisinau in Moldova to Zhuliani in the Ukraine, flying onto Marculesti in Moldova.”

With many thanks to the passengers from nine countries and Vladimir and his crew for a truly memorable experience. It is now even more memorable as this IL-18 no longer carries passengers. A truly historic event forever captured on video.

This show takes the viewer along for this amazing trip with most of the footage (take-offs and landings) filmed in the passenger cabin. There are some visits to the flight-deck while in flight, but all landings and take-offs filmed through the passenger windows. Which is showing the mighty Ivechenko engines doing their job, with the fabulous sounds that fill the passenger cabin!

Over the course of the four shows Daniel’s video camera gives us an in-depth tour inflight as well as on the ground of this amazing aircraft, which is one of the last of its type to carry passengers. At the very end, we savour a high-speed flypast at Chisinau airport, low on the deck, filmed by Daniel out the window with wing view!

Also for lovers of Russian built aircraft, this four hour show is pure heaven! The amazing sights and sounds of flying the amazing IL-18 forever documented for future generations of aviation fanatics!
