Cockpit view from Ruby Star's Antonov An-12BK registered as EW-275TI, operating flight RSB1001 from Minsk-2 (MSQ) to Minsk-1 (MHP), Belarus. The crew just fired up the APU to find out that the airport was getting closed for 30 mins due to the arrival of Alexander Lukashenko's BBJ from Kiev after the inauguration of the new Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. After the initial delay, EW-275TI is seen departing runway 31 followed by a 270 degree right turn. The airframe was manufactured in 1970 and hosts a five man cockpit crew. Please check out my other videos including the arrival in Minsk-1 in the glass nose. Apologies for my camera audio which surrendered against the extreme whistles of the Progress AI-20 turboprops. This flight took place on June 7th, 2014. Thanks to the friendly Ruby Star crew for permission to joining the flight deck.
