The Antonov An-8 (NATO reporting name: "Camp") was a twin-engine propeller-driven light military transport aircraft developed in the early 1950's and built in GAZ-34 factory in Tashkent. It was withdrawn from front military duties in the 1970's and many were transferred to Aeroflot. Few examples have still been spotted flying in Africa, although Antonov withdrew the airworthiness certificate of the type in 2004 and thus ending any legal use of the aircraft.
