Eindhoven 20AUG, Aviacon Zitotrans IL-76

A handfull shots of the IL-76.

They run a twice weekly shuttle service between Eindhoven and Afghanistan. But with the Afghanistan mission ending the shuttle will probably be stopped soon. Since the weather was favourable I figured I might as well make a quick dash to the airport to catch it, before they stop the service.

Those are great shots of a great aircraft…..but it being an Ilyushin, I could be biased! 😉
