An Ilyushin Il-62 jetliner crashed on takeoff from Ramenskoye Airport, resulting in the deaths of ten crew members. The aircraft, a prototype first flown in 1963, was departing for Tashkent and Ashgabat on a test flight. The takeoff was initiated with maximum takeoff gross weight, and the nose pitched upwards to a high angle of attack, causing the airspeed to drop. The plane ascended to a height of 3-4 meters before colliding with a concrete fence, resulting in impact and subsequent flames.An Ilyushin Il-62 jetliner crashed on takeoff from Ramenskoye Airport, resulting in the deaths of ten crew members.
