I was playing with the Google Earth Community website looking at A/C wrecks listed and came across this one that was not identified?
It looks like a Boeing wing? is it a 337? or C97? it is at Kabul Airport
N34.5668 E69.2193
Anyone able to confirm with “ground” photos.
This is another wreck in the sea near Bahama’s that is apparantly well known but interesting to view
N24.5944 W76.8100

Oops – just goes to show how inaccurate Google searching can be then…lol 😮 I keyed in AN-12 too 😮
Apologies for the false lead folks 😀 I am not well informed on Russian types at all :confused:

Sorry, that pic shows an An-26 (twin-engined). But An-12 UN-11003 of ATMA was damaged beyond economical repair while landing at Kabul airport on April 25th 2005 after a tyre burst on landing causing the plane to slid off the the runway catching fire. Five out of six crew members suffered minor injuries. It was operating a flight from Dubai. Maybe this is it.

Most likely that is an An-12, minus nose – the swept leading edge is a feature of this type.
