Hi, I know this http://www.scramble.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=39305" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is an old report but any information on spotting here would be welcome. I am hoping to take a 2-3 day trip somewhere unusual this year and am thinking of either Damascus (preference) or Tehran. Any idea on the spotting conditions, photography, legality would be welcome!!
Cheers, Dylan

Re: Damascus + Aleppo/Syria
This one is still operational. I saw it arriving at Damascus on the 26th of March.MAS017 wrote:YK-ATA IL76 wfu
Don´t even think about taking pictures of planes in Syria, really not recommended. They even have a problem with taking pictures of planes in musea.... From a plane you can pull it off, outside or in the terminal you have no chance.DylanLlewellyn wrote:Hi, I know this is an old report but any information on spotting here would be welcome.

Re: Damascus + Aleppo/Syria
Syrian air flew until july 1994 with the Caravelle yk-afb and yk-afd. Then they were WFU. Didn´t you see these beauties at Damascus ? The yk-afb was stored near the maintenance base with the nose up.

Re: Damascus + Aleppo/Syria
no places to see anything or shoot anything exept on arrival and departure.
There are security cameras everywhere in the airport.
This year I did notice an airport hotel at Damascus, but quite distant from everywhere interesting.
The only interesting place is the mil ramp. Yk40, An26, IL76, Tu134

Re: Damascus + Aleppo/Syria
Hi and thank you for the answers, I am honestly not that bothered about photography, I am far more interested in the spotting and number crunching!
I guess I need to think some more about this trip, although it is not all for the spotting, Damascus looks an interesting place all the same!
Cherers, Dylan
