Nice Amsterdam visitor 28 dec 2012

Actually its second visit, but last time the weather was even worse.

It left at dawn, which is 8.50 in the morning this time of the year.

Yes, would look really great with snow back and foregrounds! 😀

I’ve already got it with snow, I want it without snow.

The An74 is indeed a different design. The engine layout is mainly meant to have the engine exhaust blow over the flaps during take-off and thereby creating a kind of turbo lift force.

Antonov will have had a good look at this plane

Funny looking creature. Presumably engines are up there for clearance for snow/gravel take offs

Well at least they know how to apply a colourful livery to a plane!
Nice shot!
