Been quite a bit of Il-76 movements at FAWK - apparently repatriation of Rooivalks and other equipment from DRC and other goodies from Moz. I have yet to get the Blue/white Il-76 operating from Goma but got these two :

Kyrgyzstan registered Il-76TD registration EX-76025 seen on 27 November 2024 in late afternoon gloomy conditions in from Moz:

DRC registered Il-76TD registration 9T-TIB seen on 3 December 2024 in from DRC - looking a bit tatty. Note variable colour panels on the two starboard engines :

Another one - Kyrgyzstan registered Il-76TD EX-76008 arriving at FAWK on 2 February 2025. Seems to be a current regular doing DRC duty.

Here's one from 2 November - nice colour scheme - DRC registered IL-76TD 9S-PRR. According to AI ( :roll: :wink: ), 9S-PRR is an Ilyushin Il-76TD cargo aircraft that was formerly operated by the Kazakhstan Ministry of Emergency Situations as UP-17604 before being sold to the Democratic Republic of Congo's Air Force in early 2024. How can it be that the DRC can operate one of these, but SAAF has only one C-130 in operation :shock: :?
