First registered as CCCP-65720 on 24.10.59 and changed to identity now carried on 30.5.72. Canx 1973 and placed on display outside this terminal in the far north of Siberia where in summer you can still take photos with sunshine at 11pm

This 1978 Mi-6 was cancelled on 12 January 1999 and was reportedly broken up. By 2006 another Mi-6 (c/n 0429) was painted up with the same registration "RA-21050" (fake) and placed on display elsewhere at Salekhard.

This rarity is displayed next to the Li-2 at the entrance to Salekhard airport

Up here on the Arctic Circle it doesn't get dark in summer till very late. Aircraft operated by the Soviet/Russian government from new in 8.83 until a year before this late evening view, apart from a period with Greenair as TC-GRD 1990-92. Broken up at Tyumen in 2012

An-24s are a very rare sight in the smart colours of Yamal as they don't generally venture out of northern Siberia. This one is still listed as current

First registered to Aeroflot in 1977 and now in store with Yamal, whose attractive livery she first wore after acquisition in 1998
