The Ilyushin Il-22 was the first Soviet jet-engined bomber to fly on 24 July 1947. Powered by four Lyulka TR-1 turbojets, it was under powered, as the engines only produced 80% of their planned thrust. As a result, the Il-22 was unable to meet its design criteria and further development was cancelled on 22 September 1947.https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/ilyushin-il-22-the-first-soviet-jet-engined-bomber/ #aviation #aeroplane #airplane #bomber #IlyushinIl22 #SovietBomber

Now that I am retired from my decades-long career as my Ad Agency's Creative Director, graphic designer, etc., I do not get the opportunity to do much in this space. So I'm having a ball helping a friend prepare his presentation he will give 3/2 to my #EAA chapter on the three tours he spent as an Air Traffic Controller in #Antarctica. Harsh conditions, and no alternate if an #airplane got all the way into his airspace, low on fuel or facing +WX. Land on the ice runway or die trying. avgeeks

#HumpDay A completely blue sky continues. While it's a little chilly, it's mind-cleansing weather. #dog #dogs #DogsOfMastodon #AdoptDontShop #rescuedog #photography #FujiFilm #sky #airplane
