Taken on the ramp in BIKF while waiting to go through customs.

Photo taken at sunrise, giving an impressive silhouette and emphasizing the An-12's historic cargo role.

The An-12 is the Soviet equivalent to the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, but much less common in 2020s Western Europe. UR-CKL operated several special cargo relief flights during crisis periods.

A very rare sight to see at Windsor (CYQG). Aircraft was delivering auto parts from Texas at the time.
