IL76's

Thanks to the open skies policy (which I lately heard is likely to be revised but don't hold your breath) Il76's will continue to fly low over Mirdiff and elsewhere. With the restrictions in force due to high obstacles (Burj et al) these flightless monsters continue crawling in the skies at 100ft per min climb rate at best really screwing up the rest of the flow. Just wait till summer really comes in and they will be flying at 2000ft all the way to Kandahar!
