Greetings,
I made it down to KWRI this afternoon to get some shots of the PAAF IL-78. I had shot this one a few years back at KDOV and my shots were just garbage- a Mix of bad angles and trees blocking the plane. I am happy I can finally put this one to rest since I got acceptable shots this time.

Dayum!
Great catch, Senga !! :cool:
Do you know if it's still there at KWRI ?
Thanks,
Chris S,
I am not sure as I happily and eagerly killed my alerts for the PAAF IL78s when I got home. They have been sitting on my list taking up much needed slots for a long time. I had to make 2 sets of alerts because the PAAF IL-78s have a mix of Ukrainian And Pakistani Hex codes so they are toast.

Now that's a rare catch.
You sure picking these rare visitors one by one! Well done.
Yes I try to. I had shot this one several years ago at Dover AFB in 2011. Because of getting such a rare aircraft in crappy conditions my first time around was quite upsetting- so much so it was too painful to even look at those images. SO many years it was like a nightmare. But now its over.
