The Armée de l'Air's EC 1/7 puts their latest equipment through its paces. At the time Libya was in advanced negotiations for 14 Rafales in a deal worth around $3 billion, but of course the 2011 civil war changed all that.

There are four An-32s in this extremely smart livery, performing a freight role for Libyan Arab Cargo when not working as firekillers. The Arabic 'Mataafi' titles = 'fire brigade'

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

By the same token as IL-62 5A-DNY is an odd aircraft to use as a freighter, this is an odd one to use for passengers. Ready to go with a full load of Libyans bound for the central oasis town of Sebha, the debris visible is the result of them sitting on the tarmac around the aircraft for hours before departure - no sense of FOD here!
