THE SIGHT & THE SOUND 3/7 : Balkan Bulgarian IL-18 LZ-BEH inflight documentary from Sofia to BUD

This video features a positioning flight onboard Balkan Bulgarian Airlines IL-18 in November 1998 from Sofia to Budapest to pick up cargo of one day old chicks for transport to Algiers.
This time the camera was perfect.
The ultimate challenge :
Kneeling on the floor during filming and trying to find a position with bearable pain without any visible effect on filming.
The contaminated windows were beyong description. Depending on humidity it was from time to time impossible to film. In this sense, the IL-18 is one of the most difficult planes to tape on video.

Alltogether, exactly t h i s is the challenge of Classic Aviation and this makes it so special.

Enjoy with me the Sights & Sounds of Classic Aviation.
Thanks for watching.
