One of the few IL-62s still flying. Pure freighter registered in Belarus. Chances are, with all the cargo work available at the moment it was beyond MTOW. Looks like they just about got away with it. "What are those scratches on the belly, captain?" "Oh, we hit a flock of geese on the way over, but fortunately, none went into the engines."

This cargo aircraft subsequently crashed killing 5 of the 6 crew on board.
