Antonov An-140
The Antonov An-140 was conceived as a modern replacement for Soviet-era regional turboprops such as the An-24. It used a high wing, rugged landing gear, and rear-mounted engines intended for poorly equipped regional airports. Production was split between Ukraine, Russia, and Iran, but political disruption and a fatal accident ended the programme before it reached scale. Its small production run makes it a much rarer sight than the older Antonov transports it was meant to replace.

In CatchFlights the Antonov An-140 starts as a Legendary catch. The tier is an editorial judgement of how special a sighting of this type is. The more often you catch it, the closer it moves to Common for you. The first catch of a legendary type pays a bonus of its own.
A catch counts for the manufacturer Antonov, the An-140 family and the model in your collection, and the daily Type Rating quiz asks about the types of each family.
