An-22 Landing on unpaved runway (2016)

Not often do we see many Soviet planes, but what about this piece of engineering currently being operated by Antonov Airlines. In operation since '65. This video is from December 2016 somewhere in Mali. Thanks for watching! credit to its perspective owners

What a dust storm it leaves! It’s good of them transporting mail there. I’ve seen the video from inside of that noisy aircraft too.

There is something primitive about Russian engineering, there is nothing fancy about it, but it works very well.

TRUE! if it’s not broken why fix it. lol rudimentary at times but reliable. A lot of Russian pilots fly over and to Africa, where not alot of runways are ideal. thanks for the reply!
