My dad used to fly out of this airfield for Skyway in the Beech 1900C so he told me once he heard a rumor of a Soviet jet transport was stranded there after he left.

Turns out it is an Il-78 and it recently fired up its engines after a ~3 year slumber.

Interesting article. Only in the US can you be deported for trying to leave the country.   Grin   Wink
