Ilyushin Il-76 (N21045)

A Chinese Air Force Ilushin Il-76 with American Registration N21045?????? Pal, you are lost. In case you don't know, this aircraft is one of two sent to Australia to assist in the search for the missing MH370

This aircraft is rather unique and always worthy of my interest. The Soviets knew about building aircraft to do a job of work and I am well aware of recent work in the Indian Ocean etc., but what gets me interested is the landing gear arrangement. Can anyone find a better arrangement for this type of aircraft?

I see a smiley face. do you see it?

chalet. this registration was entered as ONLY 21045. the brackets and N have been entered by the Fligt aware computer. I have had this happen before. I am well aware what these aircraft are doing here

re the registration, the same thing has happened to the two other IL76 photos I have submitted! I just let this go as Fligt Aware is such an awesome website
