An-30 survey flight

[Ivan]

Kazakhstan 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

Nice aircraft, but sadly it doesn't have a VC.
