Currently in Antalya enjoying a 6 days spotting trip....
After a day with many highlights we noticed a smoker on long finals....
It looked like an AN32..... It was indeed a AN32...... of the Indian Airforce...
K2731 touched....and immediately we noticed another one on finals.... K2764 came in behind... Wow 2 An32's... We arranged transport to get some shots, and whilst driving number 3 came in ..... K2697. Our driver told us 2 more would arrive within 5 minutes.. Indeed K2697 and K2684 followed. All parked together it was like little India..
The birds arrived from Cairo enroute to Ankara. After 2 hours wining and dining the aircraft departed in glorious sunshine..... Pics online next week....

, indeed nice visitors. Are these enroute to the Ukraine (Kiev Zhulyani) for maintenance of did they came from here??Edit: Never mind, given the route Doha-Cairo-Antalya is seems obvious they travel towards the Ukraine.

5 in a row for maintenance? Maybe they are being returned with the delivery of the new C-130's and C-17's?

The Indians have done that many times before with 4 or 5 so looks like a regular maintenance flight!Arjan wrote:5 in a row for maintenance? Maybe they are being returned with the delivery of the new C-130's and C-17's?
