Interesting to observe this AN-12's engine start sequence. Not the usual 3-4-2-1 but instead 1-4-3-2. Thanks for sharing!

A very sad time for some of us but something new in the world of avaition will enter the hollow that the sweet An 12 has completed. Keep your chin up excitement is not finished yet. Cheers Patrick waiting on the next video, jet fumes included!

Top red blinker should be on as soon as a propeller turns Captain! 🧐

[@cafe6am]

What do you mean LAST departure? Cavok and Motor Sich continue to fly the Antonov 12 in Europe.

[@patrickvereecke6654]

of course , last departure for car parts flights , after 3 busy weeks , not obvious to see this classic as active over here

[@scotty6346]

Diesel turbo props! 😂

[@eycm7626]

Beautiful plane An12, but can you see that hawk 3:19 waiting for attack?.

[@patrickvereecke6654]

[@sam01081972]

[@jollyrogers7666]

Why so smokey engines?

[@leezinke4351]

[@patrickvereecke6654]

Certainly not , easy to follow up its movements on Flightradar24 , is now at Piestany , his colorful twin CNN just departed from Luanda , globetrotting guys !

May Putin be gone and the Ukrainian airline industry come back

[@yuryskrip5500]

All the so called Ukrainian air industry was established by the Soviet Union. Ukraine was only spending Soviet legacy.

[@alexmatusovsky970]

Old soviet kettle...

[@christianschneider3379]

Why is the last flight are they banned in ostend?

[@patrickvereecke6654]

LAST FLIGHT for now , delivery of car parts before closure of the Volvo facility at Ostend , closure for the holidays , stockpiling of parts to resume production soon , it has been the busiest 3 weeks ever as such , wonderful time period !
