There may have been a total of 4 earlier Y-8s.These are described as Y-8Ds and listed as tail numbers 5815 to 5818 MSNs have been quoted for these 4, although one of them is unconfirmed. As stated, there were 2 Y-8Fs delivered last year.

Black Exhaust
I live in Myanmar and have seen this plane taking off from RGN on 3 occasions. It has always stood out because it is a absolute beast and leaves a heavy black exhaust trail as it ascends.

"Bad weather caused a military plane to crash in Myanmar last month with 122 people on board, state media say"
"Investigators found the pilot had lost control after entering thick storm cloud. Ice had formed on the wings and sudden crosswinds had led the engine to stall, state media say"

What kind of wing/tail de-ice does the Y-8 have? Was it maintained?
