Has the Il-78 entered service?

 

[Deino]

Yes ... at least one has been spotted with 2064x-serials from the 13. Division. Two are said to be operational and a third awaits delivery.

Y-20 model from the AVIC booth at an exhibit... Assuming the model is accurate, we have a good peek at the cockpit.

Y-20 is a game changer, heavy strategic air lifter capable of long distance haul

Surely will change Chinese policy in the region

A good move by China to build this unit

Long distance evacuation (like Libya), humanitarian relief, disaster assistance, resupply, helping allies in time of need with heavy equipment as well as the first mission for military operations as well as civilian use

There will be no shortage of orders that's for sure

Two pilots and a load master?

This is LMAO, why won't they just release a few pictures of the cockpit. Instead we have to glean it from a model.
