Talk:Ilyushin Il-28

Rating discussion

It's pathetic that such an important aircraft has little more than a stub! Working the extensive public-domain info at VectorSite into the page would catapult it to GA or even FA status! - Aerobird 05:11, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Ambiguous text

Wikipedia stadard fonts make uppercase "i" and lowercase "l" indistinguishable. All occurences of "Il-28" in this article should be changed to "IL-28" to avoid confusion. 10:29 AM 12 March 2007 EDT

Specifications and Graphics

I have a Soviet document on this aircraft with full specifications and good graphics. I need some help translating the document to include the information in this article. Carl M. Anglesea (talk) 04:23, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

First flight

Where is the first flight date of 8 July 1948 taken from? Other online sources give the date as 8 August 1948. Drutt (talk) 06:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Operational History

The F-84F article has the following info:

"In what is probably one of the very few air-to-air engagements involving the F-84F, two Turkish Air Force F-84F Thunderstreaks shot down two Iraqi Il-28 Beagle bombers that crossed the Turkish border by mistake during a bombing operation against Iraqi Kurdish insurgents. This engagement took place on 16 August 1962."

This info may well be repeated here.

Survivors

I think a section about the survivors would be a good addition to the article. And an extra note, there's one Il-28 on display in Surabaya. Hardtofindausername (talk) 10:46, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

So long as its properly sourced per WP:Verify, go for it! Might want to also look at WP:Aviation for further guidance. Cheers! Skyraider1 (talk) 21:36, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Cannons

According to this lemma the IL-28 was equipped with NS-23 cannons. However, the respective lemmas of the Nudelman-Suranov NS-23 and the Nudelman-Rikhter NR-23 suggest the IL-28 was equipped with the latter. A reliable source seems to be needed here..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.176.180.249 (talk) 19:34, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
