RARE CLOSE UP ACTION! Vulkan Air Antonov AN-26 in Ottawa (YOW/CYOW)

Follow
Mark Brandon Aviation

What an exciting catch this is! This is only my 2nd time ever catching this classic soviet era turboprop. Very cool visitor to Ottawa!

Vulkan Air is a cargo charter airline based in Ukraine, they operate a fleet of 3 vintage Antonov AN26's. With a maximum payload of 6.3 tonnes, the aircraft is ideal for smaller cargo charter operations.

The Antonov AN26 is a classic turboprop built between 1969 1986 in the Soviet Union. There are still quite a few airframes still flying today however they are becoming increasingly rare especially for North American spotters!

Although the airline generally stays within Europe, every so often they get a contract in North America which requires various fuel stops due to the aircraft's limited range. This visit was a quick fuel stop as the aircraft arrived from Goose Bay and continued on to Memphis.
