This 1971 An-12B was delivered as CCCP-11102 to AFL/Magadan-GDX and served through the years Magadan Avia (as RA-11102), British Gulf International (S9-BOS and this EX-163). It then served South Airlines (EK-11102), Taron Avia (EK-12704), Asia Airways (EY-406) and Allied Serv. Ltd (again as EY-406). With the latter, the An-12B sadly crashed during its take-off from Juba (South Sudan) on 4 November 2015 while en-route to Paloich (South Sudan) when it failed to gain height. The aircraft smashed against a small hill. Fifteen of the seventeen on board were killed along with about 25 on the ground.
