AN124 in Adelaide

David M · #1 2nd February 2010, 11:41 AM

Hey all, RA82046 arrived into Adelaide today on a less than perfect day for photography. Very heat haze affected, but none the less, an Antonov all the same. Another due into Adelaide on Saturday 6th Feb.

Below is a size comparison shot.

Cheers,

Nice one dave! I think you may have A6-AUH, The UAE BBJ arriving from Ayers Rock at about 1:20pm today.

So Dave, how many Saabs do you reckon you could cram into the belly of the beast? Any preferences on rego's to go?

Wow! That Saab is huge!

Hey Tim,
Yeah, three decent movements for Adelaide today. We also had G-BZAW (first RJ100 for Australia) arrive along with A6-AUH, which arrived from Ayers Rock.
The weather again, not the best due to a light dust storm over Adelaide.

Nige - only the ones that don't have an APU.

Well, that narrows the fleet down a bit...

what are they bringing in, or taking out, anyone know?

Top secret

AFP were moving photographers away from the fence and enforcing the 3 meter rule.

The An-124 departed off to WMKK as "VDA7719".

POLET 124 coming in this SATURDAY morning, 1100 ETA!!!
I heard that the one in yesterday landed on its nose gear (and was told a few times by the ATC he was coming in too high) and only put the mains down well down the runway, anybody see that? PS my source is very reliable.
