EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a rare moment at the 1984 SBAC Farnborough Air Show, where the Mil Mi-26 SSSR-06141 and Ilyushin Il-86 SSSR-86066 were beautifully framed together. The tail rotor of the massive Mil Mi-26 perfectly aligns with the sleek silhouette of the Ilyushin Il-86, creating a striking visual contrast between these two Soviet aircraft.
The Cyrillic letters on their registrations - SSSR in English letters for CCCP - serve as a reminder of the era when these powerful machines ruled the skies. The Mil Mi-26, known as one of the largest and most powerful helicopters ever built, stands out with its impressive size and capabilities. Meanwhile, the Ilyushin Il-86 showcases Soviet engineering excellence in commercial aviation.
As they stand side by side at this prestigious air show, it's hard not to be captivated by their presence and significance in aviation history. This photograph is not just a snapshot from an event; it's a testament to the advancements made in flight technology during that time period.
The Peter Butt Aviation Collection has truly captured a moment worth remembering with this unique composition of two iconic Soviet aircraft from 1984.
