AN12B UR-CNN CAVOK (OST/EBOS) Ostend Airport 24june2023

Startup and take-off on a nice sunny early summer afternoon. UR-CNN (and sistership UR-CBG) was called to duty to shuttle urgent automotive parts between Ostend and other points in Europe to deliver to carfactories before the summerholiday closure. This 50+ old design still plays an important role in modern logistics. Here she's departing to Piestany in Slovakia.

Heard the UR-CKL flying over Leipzig last week, at 22000 ft.. almost cried since i haven't heard her for 8 months.. already miss this Ecstasy, but not as much as our Antonov 22 Antei😭😭 you think she'll ever take off again?
