I took these photos quite a while ago when there were lots and lots of cargo planes coming to Isb bringing in relief goods for earthquake victims. I couldn't able to figure out which plane is it, neither I found this on a.net...

Yes that's the Antonov An-72 (or -74 : whats the difference?:? ). This have the engines over the wings, I read somewhere that this help to take off and land on short runways.
Look at this photo to have a better idea of the aircraft: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1020155/M/
