  • The Death of Warsaw Pact Transports

    Time to start this thread up again. We were up to 200-201 written off in the time period of 2000-AD.com crash.

    Newest one: AN-12 vs. 727 in Congo, Brake failure on taxi, Jan 25.

    That looks like one of the Iraqi Airways 727s. Pretty ironic, given the various experiences of the Iraqi Airways fleet over all the years since 1990.

      Sure does. They were leasing some 722s after the 2003 invasion for a few years, but the service was fairly short lived. I doubt this was an original Iraqi 722.

          You're right, it wasn't. This was one of the Sierra Leone deliveries to Iraq following the 2003 invasion. The aircraft is a -247 c/n 21482 ex-Western, Delta and Kam. Delivered to Teebah for Iraqi 2004.

              the front of the AN looks pretty bad. The pilots were lucky to get out uninjured - hopefully...

                Both were seriously injured. No luck for them.

                  What does the lettering say on the 722? It's not Iraqi...

                  I can make out C-A-N-A-D-I-?-N ????

                  The one photo of the aircraft here and on airliners show it blanked out. A 2004 photo of the aircraft shows it still wearing Delta Colors.

                  -Not an Airbus or Boeing guy here.
                  -20 year veteran on the USN Lockheed P-3 Orion.

                      Well, donīt know if the AN-12 is a write-off yet?
                      Note is that in Congo-Brazzaville, Antonovs are banned from preforming passenger transport due to poor safety. Only allowed as cargohaulers.

                        Well, you indicated in the other forum that a write-off on aviation-safety.net was your criteria for write-offs. This one fits the bill (see their homepage).

                          Looks like "Canada Airways"
