Following on from the recent thread about an IL76 at Heathrow...

IL76 RA-76807 of Aviacon Zitotrans was noted at East Midlands this evening, parked on Cargo West (DHL apron)

Due out tomorrow sometime, operating an aid flight to Asia

Also present were fellow Ruskies An12 UR-SMA & An26 YL-RAB (and also an Emirates B747-400F)

Emerites at EMA

Nice to see one of those IL's back at a UK airport. so what was the Emerites 744F doing there,

Dont read much about cargo flights at EMA, any news on that side of things

MKDC8 - from what I read elsewhere in the press (so I may be wrong), the Sheik was doing his bit for the aid operation and helping the UK Govt who also have aid stores in Dubai - hence the op via Dubai.

AZS IL76 RA76807 on a rotation to El fasher in Sudan, after todays run, going to Brindisi for WFP Islamabad mission via Baku with sister aircraft RA76532. Watch out for a Kalitta B747 though, we are going to drop one into EMA or Manston in the next few days. We also have a couple of DC8s floating around out of SHJ and DXB.

Seems busy on the cargo front at EMA, will keep an eye out if the Kalitta comes your way. Dont see many of them, around

Thanks for the info

I did a trip (BJP - SZB) in the nav dome of another AZS IL76 - RA 76518 earlier this year, fantastic experience.
