Thought you might enjoy this, Monday morning, Brisbane, Australia.
Quite an elegant machine. Well built, very clean aerodynamically (the flaps are faired like it does twice the speed!) all round heaven for a student of Russian aviation 🙂 Great to see the old girl working.

Must admit, its one of the better looking russian contraptions.
I wouldn’t go as far as to call it a “Beauty”

Yes to Eagle Farm Steve, but not sure exactly what she will be doing. Cargo is big out of Brisbane / Queensland – you can see the Belfast in the background, there is an An-12 on the same flightline.
I only spoke briefly to the engineers with the aircraft (they do not speak English, I only speak a little Russian) but the aircraft is from Moldavia, crew from Moscow. I was just happy to have the chance to look at her up close 🙂
