Antonov An225 back in the uk

ShakenNstirred · 10 Jun 2014 at 15:59

just a heads up for anyone interested
the Antonov An225 is going to be at east midlands airport around 6pm Thursday, that's only estimated time at the moment.
going to be a busy night at work with her on the ramp taking up a lot of space.

Doesn't look like it should be in the air hehe that take off almost looks like its defying the laws of physics.

its a hell of a sight, had a walk round but wasn't able to go on her as they were to busy

Always feel a bit sad to see this, it has a kind of "last of my race" thing going on

Brookert · 10 Jun 2014 at 16:32

Might fly over my house as it takes off

only live about 1.5 miles away
