Russische Antonov naar Volkel

[xm717]

Well done xm717

Thanks for clearing this up. I am just curious about two things...
1. Where was the c/n positioned?

Thank you, but I'm not trying to get applause for something where I am only involved a bit. "I had it read off" = I made someone else read it off. I asked to look at the left rear fuselage (normal position). I didn't enquire about the unit.

2. Does anyone know the unit (besides open skies) this antonov belongs to?

Well Kubinka was mentioned as it's homebase.
226 OSAP is stationed here and operates the An-30.

The 04 bk which visited Volkel a few years ago was also of this unit.
So, I think 226 OSAP / 16 AK is the squadron/wing.

OSAP = Otdelnyy Smeshannyy Aviatsionnaya Polk -> Independent Composite Aviation Regiment
AK = Aviatsionnaya Komendantura -> Aviation Headquarters

Hope this helps a bit....

But it still needs some confirmation.

Best regards, Rob.
