An UNHAS DC-9-32 in Afghanistan, quite a challenge to fly an aircraft like this over a war-torn area. Opeations from Kandahar are well secured, but many other airfields where this aircraft operated from were less secured. The 1979 built DC-9-32 was eventually, after its long career that started with Texas International Airlines and Continental Airlines, withdrawn from use in 2012. The nine is now permanently stored at Johannesburg where it was last-noted mid-2016.

Small Naturelink ttiles on the ventral fins

That makes it easy to identity the owner of the plane... on the dorsal fin it has small "Operated for WFP by Qwila Air" titles.

The PAC750 continues to be a weird looking aircraft type. Here is one seen on Abache, in the far eastern part of Chad, close to Sudan. The aircraft supported UNHAS operations in the - at that time - massive refugee region.

The PAC750 is a weird looking aircraft type. The New Zealand built aircraft made its first flight in 2001 and up to date (2019) it is still in production. Some 200 have been built so far. The P-750 has a relatively high power-to-weight ratio, so its an ideal airframe for paradrops, but also for humanitarian operations in hot environments. This aircraft has small "NatureLink" titles below the tail.

This ferry flight made a short stop at Glasgow for fuel departing about 30 minutes later, it was routing Luxor - Corfu - Rotterdam - Glasgow - Reykjavik. Has Humanitarian Air Service titles and a small WFP logo on the nose.
