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!

[@patrickvereecke6654]

Patrick so the day of final departure and a complete mission is done. 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!

[@patrickvereecke6654]

each year i am pleasantly surprised seeing those veterans again, this years time period was the busiest ever , daily movements for some 3 weeks , was heaven on earth 😉

[@tropenband]

Always funny to see how the camera FPS is playing tricks with the rotor blades 😊

[@patrickvereecke6654]

Correct visuals , manual shutter speed settings required , automatic settings are just wrong ! , i select from 1/60 _ 1/210 max , love those props

[@marcellodantedealmeidanune9445]

Show do "Hércules Russo". Muito bom vê-lo ainda no Leste Europeu.

[@patrickvereecke6654]

[@alexmatusovsky970]

Old soviet kettle...

[@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

[@eycm7626]

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

[@patrickvereecke6654]

splendid observation, indeed , very active at my home airport , ,inspiration for us 😄

[@leezinke4351]

Is this plane retiring??

[@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 !

[@leezinke4351]

@@patrickvereecke6654 Oh ok.

[@sam01081972]

[@philippe_8186]

[@patrickvereecke6654]

[@daved8466]

[@panhakhmer6224]

how old of this plane ? than you flight?

[@patrickvereecke6654]

original first flight AN12=1958!

[@erikgede1130]

I prefer this type of airplane than US hecules

[@patrickvereecke6654]

AGREE , great looking turboprop, more streamlined design , love those vintage " glass " nose

[@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 !

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.
