Pirate bird
One AN 26 reg 3X-GDI (Guinea) has recently been seen flying in Chad between Ndjamena and Abeche. Its poor takeoff performance indicates the engines are washed out. Guinea CA states that this bird has been deregistered from their books since 2003 (not airworthy no insurance…) and asks in vain Chad CA to stop it. There is another AN 26 in Afghanistan with same reg 3X-GDI but different paint scheme. Poor Africa…
