It was found at an old abandoned airfield in Grenada.
Looks like Cuban markings.
A friend snapped the picture and we were wondering what airplane it is.
I assume it must be Russian, but that's about all.

thanks Mikehttp://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/cuban1.jpg

Strewth that 24 does NOT look well Shocked
The propellers appear to have rotted. I'd guess this is some sort of chemical reaction Sad

Thanks a lot guys.
yes, the old girl is not far from the beach and prevailing winds bring that salt air in.
She is in very sad shape... Embarrassed
