Delivered to Balkan - Bulgarian Airlines in 1977 as LZ-AEG and transferred to Hemus Air by May 1988. Sold to the Czechoslovak AF as 1107 in 1991 and converted to An-30FG for the Open Skies Treaty monitoring role in 1994. Stored and for sale at Kbely by 2006, moving to Air Park Zruč u Plzně for preservation in December 2009

This airframe was on the top of my whishlist in the early 1990's, it was LZ-AEG, the Hemus Air An-30. In '91 it went to the Czech Air Force as 1107, and now it is part of the Airpark in Zruc. Extra markings include 'Open Skies' and 'Photogrammetry', and the names of all the cities that this An-30 visited. The great thing about the airpark is that there are no fences or lines that you need no stay behind. So you get real close to all exhibits, but generally too close for easy photography. But you do get to see all the details in the impressive An-30 nose.
