Re: SANDF Repatriation ex DRC
While 4K-AZ101 IL76 just landed in Bloemfontein, watch some 87HFS Oryx get sent to Lubumbashi... Maybe even 1 of the serviceable RVAL?

Re: SANDF Repatriation ex DRC
I see the IL76 flew to Bangui from Bloem and seems to be heading back this way. Over the DRC currently.

Re: SANDF Repatriation ex DRC
Hi all,
According to FR24 IL-76 EX-76008 has been operating out of Waterkloof to/from DRC for the last couple of weeks.
Has anyone managed to positively ID this or got a photo please?
Many thanks,

Re: SANDF Repatriation ex DRC
Best I have is sister ship EX-70020 in Goma landing on the 24th of Jan from Waterkloof. She landed 3 minutes behind LMG 3 ZS-CAS carrying the minister of defense, whose name I can't be asked to google...
Apologies for the blurred photos, but at the time... the locals weren't so keen on snap snap.

Re: SANDF Repatriation ex DRC
Tanzanian AF Y-8 HEX 08000E JW-9035 just popped up at the border, into WKF I reckon with bodies of the soldiers.
