One of the best visitors of 2013 arrived on the 26th of June: this Qatari C-17 in regular airline colours. What a sight and sound!

At first the C-17 isn't that loud, but then full reverse thrust kicks in: deafening!

26.06.2013 -- ER-EMA -- Embraer 120 Brasilia -- Air Moldova

Departing after maintenance. The only E120 I ever caught at MST, making it an extremely rare type for me.
