SkyDubai Campus Airport at Margham

On a recent visit to campus Airport  some 40 minute drive SW of DXB with a fellow spotter Volker ,was this Oasis airfield  of Marghan ,home to Sky Dubai parachute Group which are very busy operating from 2 locations.Marghan Airport in the desert and their other airfield situated at Dubai Marina which I will visit at a later date.

Sky Dubai operate 3 Twin Otter aircraft and occasionally a Shorts 330 which was hidden away in  a distant hangar but we were able to witness two Twin Otters ,DU-SD5 and DU-SD7,

Also on the airfield was an abandoned Antonev AN-2 EW-43966 which looking at it has met its final resting place with her wings missing altogether.

DHC-6 Twin Otter 200HG DU-SD7  c/n 96  former N901RT also operated by SkyDubai

Antonev AN-2 EW-43966 minus wings.Previously it used to reside at Fujariah in the NW region of UAE until being rescued and brought here.
