Photographer’s remark

5-8208 This plane is Iraqi AWACS aircraft based on Il-76 with electronics supplied from France before 1991. During Persian Gulf War along with some other combat aircrafts fled to Iran to avoid destruction. Iran kept those aircraft as compensation for 1980 - 1988 Iran-Iraq war.
