ANTONOV AN22 crossing the MOTORWAY - The biggest Propeller Plane worldwide - DEPARTURE + LANDING

The Antonov An22 is the biggest propeller plane in the world. Although I already filmed it in Oostende in 2017 I decided to drive to Leipzig to film it again. The opportunity to film it taxing above the motorway bridge was the main reason why I drove 450km to Leipzig Airport. The southern runway at LEJ was closed which is normally not the case and that` s why the Antonov 22 had to taxi to runway 09L. To get there the AN22 has to cross the motorway via a bridge which looks quite spectacular in my opinion.
The routing of the An-22 was Leipzig - Bremen - Leipzig - Baku. They flew an expensive camping van from Bremen to Baku. Due to the short runway at Bremen, the AN22 had to return to Leipzig for a fuel stop which was just perfect for me cause I was able to film this beautiful jet three times within 10 hours.
Thanks for watching, new videos every tuesday and friday.

God bless Antonov for designing & building some of the most interesting & characterful aircraft that have ever taken to the skies... 👍🖖

[@betteryoucan8939]

I LOVE staring at An22's smile.

[@sunjayguttikonda5568]

I remember seeing this plane on TV as a kid. I remember being fascinated by the propellers and the loud screaming of the engines. 10 years later, it is still my favorite plane in the world. This plane deserves a special place in heaven. Keep flying ADB.

[@ezgaming8286]

I have fantastic News! NATO is planning to keep this beauty for atleast further 5 years in Service. I Love this plane and I Wish i Had the opportunity to fly with it in real life. But this seems to be Impossible. Wish I could atleast See her more often. She flew to my hometown Leipzig last year, on 5th december 2020. May it live forever❤️

[@hunterkiller1984]

[@craigpennington1251]

Large & in charge. Amazing aircraft and it sounds good too. Outstanding video of another Antonov wonder. That aircraft is bigger than the town I once lived in.

[@curlyanneb1973]

Excruciating to watch! You just know it’s too big to achieve lift, and then it gently does. Absolutely incredible.

[@cltidball]

The lower nose windows make it look like it's grinning... and maybe even sticking it's tongue out, while it's at it! Awesome video!

[@wesleylemayian]

Noticed that too lmao!

[@kfs1509]

Even in Dresden, about 100 Km away from LEJ, our windows are shaking a bit when this beauty is landing in Leipzig.

Thank you for this great footage of this amazing, very special aircraft. I was gutted when he was damaged at Hostomel. I do hope Antonov will be able to restore him. 🛩 💙💛 🛩

They restored her, but I'm not sure whether it's just for a museum or actual service.

[@grouchosays]

[@brittsaunders4621]

Interesting note - the Kuznetsov NK12 turboprops powering this monster generate far less smoke than the Ivchenko AI-20s used on smaller Antonovs and the Ilyushin IL-18.

[@funofflying15]

With such small looking engines and narrow wing profile, the aircraft seems to defy the laws of physics to get off the ground!

[@hungp9227]

Paul Fisher maybe you are used to see big American engines. That’s why you see this engine small

[@wyattwilliams2457]

Have you never seen a Boeing 707 or Douglas DC-8 if those engines defy the laws of physics the ones on those two definitely do.

"For those who want information about this aircraft, the following is taken from Wikipedia: The Antonov An-22 "Antei" (Russian: Ан-22 Антей, An-22 Antej; English Antaeus) (NATO reporting name "Cock") is a heavy military transport aircraft designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. Powered by four turboprop engines each driving a pair of contra-rotating propellers, the design was the first wide-body transport aircraft and remains the world's largest turboprop-powered aircraft to date. The An-22 first appeared publicly outside the Soviet Union at the 1965 Paris Air Show. Thereafter, the model saw extensive use in major military and humanitarian airlifts for the Soviet Union, and is still in service with the Russian Air Force.

Antonov's design bureau was founded in Novosibirsk and transferred to Ukraine only with the aim of increasing the industrial potential of the Ukrainian SOVIET socialist republic. Yes, and Antonov himself - Russian by nationality, was born near Moscow.

Ok well, this aircrafts is not so attractive looking all due respect to the Russian folks? However, it is an epitome of serious engineering. I mean how do they get two propellers on the same engine to turn, in the opposite direction!!! That's something.
