An-30 survey flight
Posted: Fri Jul 30, 2004 6:42 amKazakhstan Wildlife protection department asked to do a wildlife survey in the mountains south of Almaty
Preparing for takeoff, and waiting in line for the runway behind the Il-76 from Belarus.
Enroute to the mission area... not the most suited aircraft for the task but there was no An-32(2x 5000hp hot-and-high variant) available.
Turning back to the airport, low through the valleys.
Taxiing to the ramp again after queue hopping in the landing pattern... these guys think i'm flying a helicopter or something asking me to land after a cessna that is some 2 miles behing me
