FLYING THE IL-76 or AN12!!

Iīm working in the Ops-control of a "civil"-airline and enjoyed a lot of different A/Cīs during my career - but i never flew either on a IL76 or an AN12 (especially in the "navigatorīs glass nose"!!)
Where can i find the opportunity or to whom to refer for enjoying a leg in these "classic" A/C!!.

Thanks for help

Try Sharjah or, to a lesser extent, Hahn.

Sharjah is an open maintenance facility for all sorts of freighters, Take your camera, and lots of greenbacks...

Hi Classic,

The the previous 2 said..sharjah is a good place to start although Ostend, Belgium is a good place for AN-12's. I flew as flight manager a couple of times on both types of aircraft and they are great fun.

Operators such as Bright Aviation, Khors Air and Volare have aircraft based in Ostend....you may want to try them but most likely they will not allow "joyriders".
