  2. Another An-124 heavy military cargo plane from Russia's 'Irkutsk' to Tehran tonight, this is the 3rd such cargo plane arriving in Tehran in the past 48h.

    There are reports that they are delivering Mig-29s, but others say that at least one is carrying a Yak-130 training jets in preparation of Iran receiving SU-35s after 7 years of negotiations.

  3. First flying on 23 February 1932, the Gloster TC.33 was designed to carry 30 troops and their equipment 1,200 miles. Evaluation demonstrated that the take-off performance was poor, even in cool English conditions. It was decided that this would be unacceptable in the areas of the British Empire it would be operating in that were often hot. destinationsjourney.com/histor #aviation #GlosterTC33 #RAF #RoyalAirForce #TroopTransport #aeroplane #airplane #aircraft #transportplane #cargoplane
