[1600px] Very rare Soviet-era beauty visiting Fortaleza on a tech stop during the ferry flight from Russia to Nicaragua. This Classic turboprop belonged to GosNII GA (which I believe it is a Russian civil aviation institute), and was being donated to Nicaraguan Air Force. Seen here arriving on the stand, on a very hot afternoon! Sadly none of my other pics came out nice, this was probably the best one. Not really a fan of it, so I hope to have another chance to photograph an An-26 in better conditions.
