Being put through its paces by 1335 Sqdn, one of about 40 of this export variant of the Mi-24 'Hind' that were in Libya (13 were apparently modernised in South Africa)

In the 003 rework compound. Note the Air Force serial 8302 on the nose (operated all-white until quite recently)

One of the most interesting catches at Mitiga, awaiting attention with the resident 003 maintenance organisation. The identity of this airframe, first noted at N'Djamena in 3.08, is not known

The mortal remains of two An-26s inside 003 maintenance company's area. They have an Antonov tail mounted outside painted in the organisation's colours as an entrance sign, but not from one these aircraft. Libyan AF 8306 is thought to be c/n 13103

The LAC An-26s are quite busy and this one, with military serial 8203 on the nose, has just arrived

A late arrival in the LAVEX static, ex OM-HLD, RA-67674 and Soviet AF 2008

Almost reminiscent of the new An-148, a very unusual sight is this An-74 variant with the engines underslung rather than overwing as usual. Ex UR-PAV and acquired in 5.09, fitted with a very impressive VIP interior

One of the two Libyan Mils adapted for fire suppression work by Sevastopol Aircraft Plant a couple of years ago. Has a 4000l tank and can pick up from very shallow depths - gave a water dumping demonstration after picking up in the sea just outside the base during show next day. Manufactured in 1982 but had only accumulated about 250 hours by the mid-90s

Libya was a major customer of the SF.260 with an order for 240 of this trainer/tactical support version, some to be assembled in a new plant near Tripoli from the late 1970s. It is not known how many were actually delivered, but at least 12 were recently serviceable after refurbishment, while many of the others have found their way to countries like Burkino Faso, Burundi, Chad, Uganda and Nicaragua. This is one of four just landed after a performance by the Al Fatah Air Show Team. Jamahiriya Air Transport Il-76 5A-DNK is parked behind.

Another of the ex-Libyan AF paramilitary Antonovs, with name 'Waw Alnamoos' and Air Force serial 8212

This Draken was moved to Randers airfield in November 2004. Removed during May 2018 according to Google Earth imagery.

Looking smart after a rework by OGMA at Alverca completed in 4.09; there are two in this grey scheme now. As usual, titles are Arabic on the other side. Delivered by Lockheed in 12.70, one of the eight received by the LAAF before sanctions took effect
