Bit late for this now, but it had only 2 racehorses on it!
They were offloaded to give them some fresh air before re-loading them with some other horses they were picking up in Sydney.
Can't tell you where they were heading to, sorry mate.
If you're not aware, racehorses are just one of the items on the list of Emiratis registered "hobbies" :D
Btw, they also have a "thing" for fancy cars -

Falcons (birds) are a thing too, they'll pay $$$$$$$$ for a good one

Oh ok. Thx

A318 B-55411 departs Sydney at 10pm syd time for anyone who has the guts to go out and catch it departing. My parents would be furious if i woke them up in the middle of the night to take me to see it.

[lloyd fox]

PR-EHT just north of Jakarta this time inbound to BNE tomorrow night early Sunday.:)

This is Air Kirabati's first E190-E2 and the first visit of this model to Australia.

The larger 195 has been here last year.

It will become VH-IKJ and first of type on the Aussie register.

Landed at Wellcamp after a 3:39hr flight from Darwin

[Brenden S]

Expect the other 2 DC-10's here shortly from the states and the other Coulson Hercs.

Federal Govt pledged $20mil for 4 additional firefighting a/c yesterday.

[Brenden S]

AN124 arriving tomorrow (7th) with a Bell 412

[Sean L]

Sydney? What time?

[Sean L]

I've been on flightradar all day and still no an124?

[Brenden S]

Sorry it is the 9th.

[Sean L]

Sorry it is the 9th.

Oh, ok. So sydney right? Rego?

[Brenden S]

Yes Sydney and RA-820??

[Sean L]

Ok, so i assume the rego is unknown because pretty much every volga dnepr An124 has 820 in its rego. How about arrival and departure time? Also i predict that it is ra-82044 because it is in beijing. Though it could be ra-82078 since it is in hanoi. These are the 2 closest antonovs to sydney. Man, sydney hasn't had an antonov in a while. This one's gonna be a first for me. Very excited.

[MarkR]

Yes Sydney and RA-820??

Is it Volga or Antonov aircraft given a Ruslan dropped into the home of firefighting choppers in the US yesterday?

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UR82027

Well if its RA-820?? Then its Volga Dnepr.
If its UR-820?? then its Antonov

[MarkR]

Well if its RA-820?? Then its Volga Dnepr.
If its UR-820?? then its Antonov

I was asking if it’s confirmed which airline, not a question about rego

[Sean L]

Is it just me, or do i have a feeling that the an124 isnt coming today because there are no an124s on radar. Ra-82044 has departed PEK but is not flying towards sydney.

Its not UR-82027 since it departed SBD heading towards portsmouth.

[Tim Bowrey]

It was, however it was damaged on ground and could not get the door closed. A replacement is expected in the next few days.

Ohhh, no wonder it never arrived. Ok then. Thx for the info. Anyone got any info on its estimated arrival and departure time from sydney?

[Tim Bowrey]

The schedule would be all out of whack considering they don't have a replacement yet so I'd just wait and see :)

Maybe set a Flightaware.com Alert for An124's arriving at Sydney ;)

[Sean L]

How? It only gives me options of airline and flight or tail number.

[Sean L]

UR-82029 heading for US. Replacement?

[Tim Bowrey]

UR-82029 heading for US. Replacement?

Heli's came in on todays Atlas 747-8 service so I doubt an Antonov will come anymore.

One did pop into Perth last night, bit of a drive to see it. It did what is probably one of its shortest ever flights going from Johor Baru to Changi, still took 20 mins

Yeah... not gonna drive to perth from syd to see an antonov lol. Sigh, all this excitement for nothing.

[Brenden S]

The AN124 came to Perth instead. As Tim stated the Bell 412 came in on one of the 747-8F's

[Sean L]

DC10 tanker N522AX due in canberra tonight

The aircraft is undergoing some maintenance that could not be completed in Canberra.
