Does anybody have a clue how many Aerogaviota Antonov 24/26's remain in service ? Online databases give up to 13 Antonov 24/26's in their fleet but only few are seen on recent pictures/youtube and google earth.
Besides that the service life of all Aerogaviota Antonovs are overdue, see http://www.antonov.com/media/archive/lista27042017.pdf

Someone has more info ?
