Ilyushin 28?
A friend was doing some research regarding the Korean War and came upon
these 27 a/c in North Korea via Google Earth 40.374206, 127.260874 (or 40 22 37.33, 127 15 37.65) and assumed they were Ilyushin 28s. Is he correct? These are 1950's a/c, could they be still operational? Avsec |

So these are both 1950's a/c, could they still be operational? |

Thanks for reminding me about those two but I don't think the original
1950's models would be still operational. More like Coke cans now and been recycled a few hundred times. Avsec "Steven P.

EU has made the C-160 which in some configuration was able to load more large cargoes than the C-130 ... That's why EU has decided for the A-400M |
