In basic Trans Avia Export pictured at Kabul. The Il-76 became damaged beyond economical repair on 9 Mar'07 during a flight from Entebbe to Mogadishu. On its final approach to Mogadishu (at a flight level of some 120-150 metres) it was hit by a Rocket Propelled Grenade fired by Islamic rebels from a small boat. The RPG hit the fuselage near the left main landing gear and caused a fire, the crew managed to land the Il-76 safely. The a/c was cannibalised, and parts were to be flown out by Il-76TD EW-77849 on 23 Mar'07. That 849 was shot down during departure... 826 was fully scrapped by nov'12.
