Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Luanda - Angola pics November visit

Post by canberra »

First a word of warning - not quality shots - taken during taxi and from Hotel at quite a distance. As there are not to many pics from LAD I decided to put them up here anyway.

First a few Monsters :worship:

D2-FCO Ilyushin Il-76TD Untitled

T-908 Ilyusin Il-76TD Angola AF, apparently a recent delivery, anyone recognizes the colours?
Image

T-909 Ilyusin Il-76TD Angola AF, no con number know for this one either.

Thanks all, some time I have the idea that I am the only one that thinks the motive is more important that quality. I now know I am not alone :mrgreen:

As requested, unfortunately text under logo not readable .

Engine logo and former registration still appears to be on wing, but again can't read it.

Mode-S hexcode is 09002F btw.
