Here's a Russian bi-plane SR, I've no idea what the hell it is though.
To be fair, it wasn't a great airport.....

Lower one is an Antonov AN2

Yes, that looks like it Nick, just slightly better condition though, very lumbering, IIRC they said built up untill 2002, apparently uses 45 gallons/ hour which is, apparently, a lot even for an airplane.

Top one is an Ilyushin IL76

QuoteNarrative:
A Russian Air Force Il-76MD transport plane registered RA-76825 was ready to depart from Makhachkala Airport (MCX). The airplane, with a crew of seven, taxied to the runway. At the same time another Il-76 (RA-76827) came in to land. The wing of the landing aircraft struck the flight deck of the stationary airplane, ripping away a large part of the forward fuselage. A fire erupted. Three of the seven crew members died. The landing Il-76 suffered damage to the wing but none of the 31 occupants were hurt.
Makhachkala has a single runway (14/32), measuring 8688 × 230 ft (2648 × 70 m).

Blimey Landman, nice one, that's the place alright.
It's the only airport I've been to where you could buy weapons in the terminal shop.

I punched the reg number in to Google and it threw up the info from a site called Aviation News (I think)

P.

So what did you buy BigH

Well.
The little daggers were very pretty, in fact the general workmanship, right up to the ceremonial and samurai swords was very impressive.
A hand gun and a bunch of rounds looked good value, and I was led to believe an AK47 with 33 in the jacket could be had, under the counter, as it were.
In the end I settled for a Snickers.
