This 1965 An-12 was sold to Southern Cargo Airlines in Mar 2004 as RA-11768. It was reported at that time as sold to Sudan, but things have changed and the aircraft flew under Georgian Flag in many unclear cargo missions through Africa. From Feb 2006, Antonov reported that the An-12 was no longer airworthy anymore, but the aircraft continued to fly and was eventually de-registered as S9-GAW, with a Sao Tome company named Styron Trading. The An-12 simply continued its dubious flights and began operating for the Democratic Republic of Congo Air Force. It became 9T-TCH in Jan 2009 within the FARDC(FA).
