ANTONOV 124 AT DSA IN -6 DEGREES large post

16/2/08 Should have been at Sheffield this afternoon. Would have made it if the beast was on time. Still, saved some petrol and did my bit for global warming!! Posted both days together. Part 2 was taken 17/2/08 at 0645 -6 Degrees which made for a nice sky. Again the beast was late but this made for better lighting. No complaints from me then. Left a nice warm bed to venture to Robin Hood where I met some more spotters. Are we just plain (sorry plane) mad or just enthusiasts. I think the latter, others may disagree.
Hope you enjoy. Comment and criticims welcome as usual.
Cheers
Stu

Many thanks for your comments and yes it was cold – but worth it.
Rab – no slagging this time. I’m gutted, are you ill or are you lacking the wet stuff.
Once again thanks for looking.
Cheers

Very nice shots. From past experience take the arr/dep time for AN124s with a pinch of salt – I’ve seen them land 4 hours early and also 28 hours late :p

That’s the problem with non scheduled cargo charter flights……..you should try working operationally with them 😮 we have to sort the mess out from previously delayed flights when customers pitch late with cargo deliveries!!

Good pics of our aircraft though:D
