Please help ID this aircraft.

Hi all, could anyone please help to ID this aircraft. I thought it was a C-130 but the front isn't quite the same.



Thanks in anticipation

Looks like a red X in the middle of small box to me!

Thanks for your reply, I've refreshed the page several times, even left the site and came back and I can see the image each time.

If anyone else sees only a red x please let me know

Yep, just a red cross in a box.

Yup, a very elegant red cross in a box. You're probably linking to a photo on your hard drive. That'd be why the rest of the world can't see it and you can.

You appear to need a login for the site that is hosting the pic - JSP, if you'd like to email me the pic, I'll stick it on my Photobucket account.

Edit - I've PM'd you my email address!

Interesting picture, anyone know the story?

[FlightDetent]

The Antonov An-12 airplane number 9Q-CIH filmed in the movie was owned by a Russian citizen Evgeny Zakharov. On January 8, 2005, the plane crashed at Bukalaza, Uganda; all six crew members were killed. The plane departed Entebbe airport with destination Kinshasa. It was reportedly carrying humanitarian relief items.
