The airfield of Ceadîr-Lunga, in the autonomous territorial unit of Gagauzia in Southern Moldova, was once a thriving airport where Yak-40s could be found. These days are long gone. More recently, the idea was to use the airfield as the base for a flight school and paracentre, for which this An-2 was brought over. It was registered as ER-AIC but that registration could not be found on the airframe, which was found in this sorry state.
