1/n #AN32CrashMenchuka 1987-89 I stayed in Menchuka. We reached after eight-day self contained walk form Little ahead of Kaying which in turn was ahead of Along. Jorhat and Mohanbari provided air replenishment by AN 32. 32 years. AN32 still. It was inducted around 1984-85.
2/n IAF declares that engine overhaul is carried out by then ‘despite’ no transfer of technology. Air frame and engine apart, has avionics, communication, software etc kept pace with years passing by? THIRTY FIVE years! Is it at par with latest models?
3/n On 25 March 1986, an Indian Air Force An-32 disappeared over the Arabian Sea on a delivery flight from the Soviet Union (via Muscat, Oman.) No trace was ever found of the aircraft or its three crew and four passengers. What happened to a brand new aircraft?
