C-130 over Serbia

Driving towards Belgrade on 22/8, saw high wing transport - thought it was a Swebian A.F. AN-26. After another look it looked more like a C-130. Diverted to Batajnica - but nothing there.

Re: Serbia in recent times

I like the pic's from Batajnica, was it the Armed Forces Day in April. I was there, but did not get into the hangars. How did you manage to find Omladinskih Brigade and the G-4. As for Novi Sad airport and the old AN-2's. I was there a few a years ago, and it looks the same. Did you get any pic's of...

Pity they did not have the Mig-21's they had in 2017 when i was there last. The trashing of the car by special forces was over the top. At ...
