It was back in 1988 when a huge earthquake hits Armenian.
Germany helped with heavy equipment and therefore - if I remember right - it was the first time that the AN124 made it appearance in the West for cargo operations.
Several of them flew to STR and because I was at this time student at the university Hohenheim (which is around 4 miles away from the airport) I was waiting 6 hours in light snow fall to see them…
And their livery was like the one we have seen here before, but with a big red star on the vertical fin (as it was obviously operated by the military).
So Elliott count on me definitely for this one…
