Notes:

This aircraft type was originally built as a freighter for arctic missions. The typical engine position on top of the wings makes this Sovjet beauty a STOL-airplane using runway lengths of about 300 meters to rotate. Its remarkable design also gave the An-74 the nickname "Tscheburaschka" (a comic figure with big ears). Taxiing out to the active for departure to Leipzig-Halle Intl. as flight ADB 9199. [1920px]
