Her departure looked absolutely amazing, what a roar! Just perfect Kevin! Thanks for capturing her both days!

[@CristinaDimoulias]

That was amazing to see Antonov taking off from LAX today Kevin ❤️❤️

[@Steph31217]

Had the rare opportunity to see her take off in the Netherlands last month and I was truly blown away by this majestic beauty!! A once in a life time experience!!

[@SKYWATCHAVIATION]

Still amazes me that the Antonov even though it’s the 124 can still get off the ground such a cool plane and so big and super heavy glad I could see it live great video Kevin always happy to see a plane like this at LAX such a cool looking plane to wish I could’ve been at LAX to see it in person with you

Wow. What a short take off for such a heavy plane. Amazing.

[@RebeccaLerch]

That’s was awesome. I haven’t seen this plane in a long time. It is huge but to take off a smooth landing was smooth. Hello, Captain. Thanks, Kevin .

Definitely the one SpaceX hired then

@@mistertagnan I hadn't thought of that. I assumed since it's Ukranian that it was military related

[@atinwoodsman]

Awesome plane, wonder what they were hauling. Quick turnaround

[@mistertagnan]

SpaceX hired an An124 to ferry some MVac nozzle extensions to Florida, maybe those?

[@mistertagnan]

Seems this specific aircraft did land at the shuttle landing facility, so it’s most definitely the MVac nozzles

[@martyspargur5281]

After today's Vandenberg Launch (5/28/24) I think it was ESA's EarthCare sattellite coming from Belgium, stopping at LAX for customs, otw to VSFB. But I'm not sure.

[@josegarbo1620]

Espectacular

[@sachmostaub1990]

We have one in Toronto Ontario sitting for one and a half years on the tarmac at Toronto international airport. Apparently it’s not allowed to leave Toronto. Confiscated?

[@bunnyfufu9933]

So glad not all of them are destroyed

[@owenmurray1405]

Saw one of these for the first time a couple months ago, it sat at the end of the runway for at least a minute before spoiling up. Similar thing here, I guess that’s common?

Where's the spectacular?? That was just a routine take-off!!!!

[@whiskers78753]

I wonder where it's headed and what the cargo is.

[@mistertagnan]

Probably MVac engine nozzles for SpaceX. They hired an An124 for an urgent ferry mission out to Florida

[@mistertagnan]

Or not? Might be a different one. I’m not sure

In looking into it a bit more, seems it was definitely the An-124 SpaceX chartered

[@Ncobb2334]

How on earth did something that big take off so fast?

[@HughBond-kx7ly]

40 second take off roll-it must have been well below MTOW.

is this your first time seeing the an-124 at LAX?

[@chrisrodriquez2639]

This was not the larger Antonov-AN which I believe was destroyed in the current Ukraine war. That plane was more impressive in size and power. Had six engines.
