I don't think there is a picture. A 'shot in the dark' is a turn of phrase, not a picture taken at night

Ah... need to wake indeed "Seen here" is what triggered me to expect a pic.

Sorry

Hi

Sorry guys for confusion a poor choice of English phrase should have said long shot maybe but then same confusion perhaps!

Stefan you indicate a serial from what source do you have this information?

Best regards

On investigation it would appear it was an IL78 in grey colour scheme

Nice one thanks Mr Herkybird have just googled some pics of K-2666 and it seems it is a grey one after all.

Just for the record it seems that Czech Air Force C295 0454 is on detatchment here along with a King Air/C12(any ideas?) that are located at the western end of the field.

Luckily coincided with the Business for Africa conference which attracted a number of biz etc two of which were Egyptian Air Force Gulfstream 4s with no visible registrations!! Now that is a real test of someone's knowledge

Best regards

All Indian Air Force Il-76s are nowadays painted in the grey overall scheme.
Next to that, the aircraft are in the process of being reregistered from the Kxxxx-series to the KIxxxx-series.

See the flightplan mentioned by Mr Herkybird, but I would first want to see visual confirmation of the "new" serial.
