Shocking video: Iran IL-76 plane crash filmed from C-130 Hercules


Previously-unseen video footage has surfaced online, allegedly showing the crash of an Iranian military jet at an air show two years ago. It captures the moment the Ilyushin IL-76MD military plane falls to earth and explodes, after a mid-air collision with F-5E Tiger II. The haunting video was filmed by the crew of a C-130 that was filming the refuelling of an F-4 Phantom II. The planes were taking part in the September 22, 2009 air show and parade just outside Tehran. All seven crewmembers on board the IL-76MD were killed in the crash.

'Miracle' landing without nose gear: Iran Air ace saves lives on Boeing 727


Video courtesy: www.youtube.com The captain of an Iran Air Boeing 727 has managed to land his aircraft at Tehran's Mehrabad airport even though its nose landing gear failed to unfold. Captain Hooshang Shahbazi's piloting skill saved the lives of some 94 passengers and 19 crew members. Footage of the miraculous landing on October 18 became an internet sensation and Shahbazi's Facebook page ( www.facebook.com ) has attracted hundreds of new friends. The flight IR-742 from Moscow, Sheremetyevo was on approach to Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport around when the crew did not receive a down and locked indication for the nose gear and aborted the approach. Following unsuccessful troubleshooting the crew decided to divert to Tehran's Mehrabad Airport where a low approach confirmed the nose gear was not extended. The crew subsequently performed a landing without the nose gear and came to a stand still on both main gear and the nose of the aircraft. The aircraft was evacuated, no injuries occurred.

Iran Air 727 Lands in Tehran... on Two Wheels!


An Iran Air Boeing 727 passenger plane landed at the Mehrabad airport in Tehran last Tuesday, and there's nothing remarkable about that. What was amazing was the fact that the pilot had lost the nose gear and had to make the landing on the rear two wheels alone. Luckily, or skillfully, none of the 94 passengers and 19 crew were hurt. And an airport worker waiting for the jet to land caught the whole amazing episode on tape. Below is the video showing the incredible landing and, if it weren't for the fact that it's known there was a problem with the landing gear, it's hard to notice anything wrong. Until the plane taxis further down the runway and the nose hits the pavement. A similar happening occurred several years ago at LAX and the angles caught on tape there were amazing. There was a helicopter up above and plenty of cameras all around on the ground. So far, it looks like this is the only video of the Iran Air crash landing to make it on to the web. But that doesn't make it any less amazing. Have a look and be happy that everybody made it home alive that night. It's not very likely many Americans would be making a trip to Tehran any time soon. But if they were, this is the guy anyone would want up front. Well done, Captain! You've earned your wings...

The Taban Air plane caught fire upon landing at Mashhad airport at 7:20 am local time (0350 GMT). The injured have been taken to hospitals in Mashhad, the report added. Jafarzadeh said the Tupolev plane initially took off from Abadan airport in southwestern Iran Saturday evening but landed in Isfahan, central Iran, because of bad weather in Mashhad, its destination. "The plane took off from Isfahan airport at 5:35 am local time Sunday ... Despite bad weather and minimum visibility, the pilot made an emergency landing because a passenger was ill. But the incident then happened during landing," he said. Jafarzadeh said the plane was seriously damaged. State television added that part of the aircraft had burned and the left wing and undercarriage were torn off. Iran has about a dozen Soviet-built Tupolev airliners.

Iran Air hero pilot honored by Iran's Minster of Transportation


Iran's Minster of Transportation and Housing has thanked and praised Iranian pilot Houshang Shahbazi for safely landing his malfunctioning plane, Press TV reported. "Captain Shahbazi and his crew landed the plane safely with their faith in God and exceptional skills," Ali Nikzad told Press TV. "Fortunately no one was hurt and this shows the expertise and capabilities of our pilots," he added saying that more than 100 Iranian and Russian passengers were onboard Shahbazi's plane. An Iran Air pilot said the problem was caused when a plastic got stuck in the pressure line and made it impossible to free the nose wheel even manually. Enemies of the Islamic Republic have mistaken humane and commercial problems with political and military issues, and have sanctioned IranAir airline, said Nikzad. The Iran Air Boeing 727, with 94 passengers and 19 crew members was landed without its front landing gear at Tehran Mehrabad Airport on October 18, 2011. The incident took place as the plane was landing after a flight from Moscow.

Iran's aviation industry-Iran Today-12-20-2011


www.presstv.com It's the 18th of October 2011. Iran Air Boeing 727 is in trouble. It's approaching the runway at Tehran's Mehrabad airport, but a technical problem has occurred. The front wheels have failed to deploy. 113 people are on board, 80 percent of them Russian and the plane still has a lot of fuel in its tank. A bad landing could mean a raging inferno and the death of everyone on board. But pilot Houshang Shahbaazi is in control. He manages to keep the nose of the plane up long enough to land gracefully, without the front wheel. A catastrophe has been avoided. This is not an isolated incident. Every year Iranian pilots face a number of hair-raising episodes, and every now and then tragedy does strike. Iran's aviation industry is struggling under crippling UN sanctions that make it very difficult for Iran to buy new planes, or buy parts for the maintenance of its ageing aircraft fleet. Because of this, in the last 25 years there have been 17 plane crashes, and 1500 deaths. The fact that Iran's economy has been controlled by the government for so many years is also an issue that has affected the aviation industry. In this edition of the show we'll be taking a close look at Iran's aviation industry and problems.

US Stealth Drone crashed in Iran


American officials have acknowledged that an unmanned US reconnaissance plane was lost on a mission late last week, but have insisted that there is no evidence the drone was downed by hostile acts by Iran. Rather, they said, the drone likely went down because of a malfunction, and they implied the advanced stealth reconnaissance plane would have fallen from a high altitude. The RQ-170 Sentinel can fly as high as 50000 feet, and as a result, wouldn't be in good shape. Iranian military officials have claimed since Sunday they brought down an intact American spy drone and now they are giving video tours of what looks to be a drone in apparently good condition. "On Sunday December 4, the Iranian Army's electronic warfare unit downed the US RQ-170 Sentinel stealth aircraft which was flying over the Iranian city of Kashmar, some 140 miles from the Afghan border," Iran's Press TV said in its report Thursday. The Pentagon is declining to comment on the images. The New York Times reported Thursday that the RQ-170 was lost while making the latest run over Iran during an extended CIA surveillance effort of Iran's nuclear and ballistic weapons program.
