With RA-82081 in the back-ground

A rare one... delivered on 30 Nov'93, this Il-76 started its life in the Uzbekistan and never changed and that's quite rare for this type of aircraft. The Il-76 was planned to become the second Il-76PP (izd. 176) but was completed as a cargo aircraft. The aircraft was current on register on 27 August 2019.

This beauty was scrapped after a long career that lasted from Oct'82 (delivered as CCCP-76499) to early 2018 when the aircraft was scrapped as UN-76499.

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.

This Il-76TD is a former Soviet Air Force Il-76MD. It was delivered as CCCP-86919 on 27 August 1982. It was transferred to Atlant as UR-76319 on 11 September 1996 up to August 2002. Modified to TD the CANDID was sold as EX-86919 to Botir Avia and flew there up to September 2003. East West Cargo took it over as ST-EWC in November 2003. In May 2005 it became Air West Cargo with the same registration. The TD was last noted at Khartoum in January 2008 and by March 2010 it was withdrawn from use. In late September 2013 the aircraft disappeared and was probably broken up.
