Delivered new 26th July 1984 and first noted with RA- prefix Nov 1992. Became EP-ALE 1st Aug 1998

Still in the basic colours of previous operator, Aeroflot.

A quick early morning shot as I head in to work. It was reportedly placed in storage at Ashkhabad in Feb 2006 and then sold to the Chinese Air Force in Apr 2016 as 78612.

Now with the Atlant-Soyuz Airlines logo crudely painted off the tail and allegedly, according to my log at the time, operating for Ukrainian airline Yuzhmashavia.

Delivered new (as CCCP-76476) 26th Apr 1984 and first noted with RA-prefix Dec 1992. Became EW-430TH around Aug 2014

Reported to have gone to the Angolan Air Force circa 2016 as T-911

Airstars Il-76TD is nearest in this busy scene on DME's apron. The aircraft had previously served with Aeroflot.

Devoid of titles but operated by GosNIIGA, a scientific research Institute. Ex CCCP-76481.

Among quite a number of air cargo companies this IL-76 flew for, it operated with IDF Iron Dragon Fly from Feb 96 to Oct 97.

Although still with Aeroflot titles it was in fact ex Aeroflot-Magadan and operating as Magadan Cargo Airlines since Mar 95. It went to Atlas Jan 99 as EP-ALI. Also spent time as 9L-LCY with Aerolift and UN-76009 with GST Aero. At some point after 2005 it went to Ababeel Aviation as ST-WTB and was written off at Khartoum, North Sudan, 30 Jun 2008, when it stalled and crashed on take-off following a double engine failure. There's a little more to the story if you read the ASN report.

Later EW-495TH with Trans Avia Export Cargo Airlines

Acquired in 1993 ex Aeroflot CCCP-76811. Went to the Angolan Air Force in March 2009 as T-905/D2-MBQ.

With additional Heavylift titles

This "Candid" was built as Il-76MD and received registration CCCP-86903 within the Soviet Air Force before its delivery on 10 Mar'83. The bird was sold to Atlant as UR-86903 and converted to Il-76TD in '91. The airframe was 2 times reregistred within Atlant, to UR-76382 in Oct'94 and to RA-76382 in Feb'95. The aircraft was then sold to Atlant Aerobatics as HA-TCG in Jul'96. It operated mainly from Budapest and was transferred to again another Atlant, this time Atlant Hungary in May'00. It was seen at Shymkent (Kazakhstan) with cut off wings and tail in 2010. The fuselage was last seen in 2016.
