Two Chinese-built Shaanxi Y-8 landed at Malta International Airport this afternoon, a rare a treat for plane spotters. The type is considered as being China’s most successful military and civilian transport aircraft. It is believed that the aircraft are on a delivery flight to the Venezuela Air Force. The Shaanxi Y-8 is based on the Russian Antonov An-12 and entered service in 1981. It has since been upgraded several times.
