Evening all,

IL96 moves onto Adelaide tonight.

Any idea whose IL96, and the reason its down this way?

IL96 is Polet freight rego is RA-96103. 2nd of its type to Aus this year. Adelaide received RA-96102 earlier in the year.

Unsure of reason for it venture down under.

The "ban" on An-124's was lifted just last week (atleast on all VDA/ADB machines). Previously the flights would have had to of been of "national importance" (ie military or govt load)

Ah the 400, lucky buggers. Send it to CHC !

Thanks :-)

Evening all,

Polet freight IL96 RA-96103 arrived in Adelaide around 2215. It will stay the night and is scheduled to depart at around 0930 tomorrow morning.

I have attached a phtograph of it parked at bay 27...

It's an ugly looking version of the A343 :D

Evening all,

Here is a shot of the IL96 in Daylight. Taken at 0630 this morning. This photo is taken from the Long term car park at Adelaide Airport. Please excuse the stairs blocking the Nose...

Liam, is there a link available or a perhaps a press release? The DoTARS site appears to be void of any new announcements.

I hope so as well, but BOM says otherwise...
