Let me guess, that person was the test pilot of Il-28 "Beagle" bomber, am I right? And I remember that he liked that aircraft...

No) that person is far to young to be an Il-28 pilot :)

I know, I know... But check this out;

"The Il-28 prototype performed its initial flight on 8 July 1948, very much on Ilyushin's schedule, with OKB chief test pilot Vladimir Kokkinaki at the controls, accompanied by radio operator B.A. Yerofeyev and navigator N.D. Sorokin. It was powered by British-built Nene engines, part of a batch that had been obtained as part of the license manufacturing deal. Kokkinaki reported the aircraft handled well and that it was easy to fly, with no major 'funnies'."

(BTW, I downloaded a book about Il-76 and its variants and I saw the mighty ABL; A-60! :D)
