Antonov-124 visits Adelaide

As most enthusiasts will know, on occasion Adelaide Airport is host to a variety of interesting aircraft both large and small. The 2nd February 2010 was no exception. An Antonov-124 visited Adelaide to deliver a payload of cargo and will stay overnight.  For those who missed it arrive, another one is coming in this Saturday 6th February 2010 at around 1100-1130 and departing at 1430. The aircraft that visited 2nd February departed Wednesday 3rd February 2010. So, if you would like the chance to see one for the first time or to see one again, Saturday it might be worth the trip to the airport.  

VIDEO SOON!

Heading into International Bay for refuelling.

A matter of scale.

Refuelled, ready to tow back to park.

At unloading area.

Airborne YPAD. That's 24 wheels!

Apparently care has to be taken taxiing this aircraft as too steep turns can damage the tarmac
by the shearing motion of the landing gear.
