Hey guys, check this out!

 

A few days ago this thing landed at my work. There wasnt many pictures of it as security was very tight. You wont find this pic anywhere on the internet either.

 

Ill let you guess what it is and where it came from.

Il-76 TD, bigger fuel tanks than the Il-76 and also bigger cargo weight can be loaded

 

Thanks for sharing with us.

Lybia

 

when I was an Aero Engineer. Every Thursday @ 9am an Air Foyle An-124 landed and parked 100 yards away from our hangar. Got in her a few times, boy she is big.

Yep Lybia. It came over to drop off some C-130 Nacelles and respective engines. Its Ironic isnt it? That US hardware came in a russian made aircraft and is all FUBAR'ed for being all the 20 years of embargo out in the open at the desert.

 

Unimaginable work load but we are known to perform miracles. :D

That doesn't surprise me anymore.

We use An-124s to fly our Apaches to and from Afghanistan and Iraq, because they're cheaper than USAF C-17s or C-5s.

 

 

Sometimes an IL-76TD shows up to transport some spares, like this one, registered as ER-IBF.

(Picture quality is quite poor, because the weather was very bad at the time)

We(Denmark) used An-124s for flying Leopard 2A5 tanks to Afghanistan - because they were the only ones up for the job I guess :) .
