Their seems to be a discrepancy of the specifications of the An-72. Sources online claim either 31 August or 22 August of 1977 was its first prototype flight. Other Specifications list different dimensions/take off weight/performance of the aircraft. Just make sure to check different sources before adding info.--Kakonator 09:12, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

I've went ahead and added info. One source that I used is "Warplane" #12 magazine from 1985 and other various online sites. I'm not sure if any of the info is correct but if anyone has a better source, please fix itup. --Kakonator 11:03, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

No idea which date is correct, but it would seem more likely that the Russians would decide to test new aircraft in mid-summer rather than mid-winter. Drutt 02:46, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] YC-14 mention

Isn't the mention of the YC-14 being the only turboprop in it's competition grossly off topic? It has nothing to do with the An-72, and should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.232.110.108 (talk) 15:38, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
