Req; Minsk (inter)national airport

[Shirley]

Hi all,

Seen yesterday at Minsk airport was an Angola Air Force IL-76. It was parked on the most South-Western ramp, next to two Tu-134 in red c/s with a red star on the tail.
Does anyone have an idea on their registration? Has the Il-76 been there long, or has anyone tracked this one?

Also, does anyone have a current overview of the stored IL-76's that are at Minsk?

Any help will be much appreciated!

Best regards,
Erik

Erik,

A friend visited Minsk in May on his way to Kazachstan.
He send me 2 photos. The following aircraft are visible on the photos
An-12 EW-338TI (missing the 2 engine, one on each side)
Il-76 EW-76710
Il-76 T-905 Angola A.F. undergoing maintenance

Hopes it helps.

Thanks a lot Michiel!!!

The one IL-76 I had noted down myself was EW-76734.
Looks like T-905 is the one I saw. It did look to be pretty much done with the maintenance.

Unfortunately I cannot say how current all are, but I do have a list of Il-76s seen at Minsk in the past. Some have been marked as seen in April of this year, but that doesn't mean the others were no longer there.

All aircraft on the Spottingmode list have been seen in April 2018. Hope that's any help.
