Airside experience with the ANTONOV An-124 at RFD airport

[@kraz904]

There is a beauty to this aircraft built like a tank. Thanks for the great catch...

Was? Did something happen to this one too?

[@nasajeep]

Just over 2 years ago another AN-124 (RA-82043) flew right over the house on it's way out of Atlanta. What a sight!

[@Yormsane]

This must have been a great experience, getting right up close to it. Thank you for the upload!

[@GBraidi78]

[@JelmersAviation]

Wonderful video man!

[@orneno9056]

Rest In Peace, AN225. You will be missed…

[@arijus17]

Well now it's making a comeback

[@ChrisZoomER]

It really does look like the AN-225 with two fewer engines and a conventional tail instead of the twin tail.

Nice images ! Due to the company's negligence, the biggest plane, Antonov AN 225, was destroyed in the airport hangar! This was stated by one of the former pilots in the German press!

[@ClearSkyProductions777]

Great spotting! What kind of camera do you use?

[@TheCuriousSpotter]

Thanks. For this footage i used the Sony NX80

[@cun7us]

The smoke coming from the engines looks a bit sketchy.

[@RobertSlacker]

Is that a Ukrainian bird? Looks like the colors.

[@kraz904]

The Ukrainian crews work hard day in, day out...

[@ritinha7638]

Antonov fornecer. ....

[@donnamariebrown2478]

I heard that this aircraft was destroyed in the Russian/Ukraine war.

[@TheCuriousSpotter]

There are about twenty AN-124s in service currently. The destroyed aircraft was the unique Antonov An-225 Mriya, that was the biggest cargo aircraft in the world.
