Turns out UAA has ST-AQE

Guess there is no harm in showing how it would have looked. Now that UAA are gone 🙁
Excuse the crudeness of the drawing, I did it back in 2004!

You might be right! Here are photos of the plane. 🙂

Looking at the accident photos again, it is odd that the starboard outer prop is twisted, must have been all over the runway! 😀

ST-AQQ…… that reg is familiar to me. I’m sure she was once owned by United Arabian Airlines. The outfit I did the DC-8 livery for.
They had an AN12 in Sharjah in storage and were prepping it for flight. I was also asked to modify the DC-8 livery for it but they sold it off before it was ready for paint. I’ll need to check my records, but I swear ST-AQQ was the reg of that AN-12.
