Photo Comment

This 278 is the second An-26 of the Afghan National Army - Air Corps carrying this serial. The first was construction number 13409, but this airframe was probably hijacked to Pakistan by followers of General Tanai after the failed coup attempt of 5 March '90. 13409 is now in a aviation museum in Karachi (Pakistan). This 278 with construction number 13902 of this picture was first seen in a camo jacket in March '02 in service ANA_AC. The An-26 became grey in 2006 and is withdrawn from use at Kabul in 2013.
