Rare visit of a US Navy Hercules to Glasgow Airport photographed landing on Runway 05 at 1pm, the aircraft parked remote on the North side of the Field and stayed for a night stop before departing on the following morning.

Rare visit to Glasgow of a US Navy Hercules, it parked here on the North side over night and departed early the next day.

One of the many colourful 134s that were available for private charter out of Vnukovo around this time

The sort of result that makes the difficulties of visiting Russia to shoot aircraft all seem worthwhile

Taken just before grabbing the slide camera, this smart 154 was donated by the Russian Government to the Kyrgyz Government in January 2007. It was wfu by 2013 at Manas airport (which serves the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek), and was still stored there by 2020.

This long-time Armenian IL-86 appeared with Armavia titles in 2005. Soon after this shot it was wfu at Voronezh and intriguingly the nose was cut off and transported to an armaments test range to be used in a experiment on 7.10.15. This imitated the shoot-down of flight MH17 over Ukraine in July 2014, a SAM missile similar to that suspected to have brought down the Malaysian 777 being fired at the nose section
