AN-124 14-15 Jan
 

I was just told by a sydney airport staff member that an AN-124 will be in on the 14 Jan ( approx 1930 ) and leave early the next morning. He also said there was a IL-96 in melbourne today. I guess if thats true, the AN-124 should be likely. Thought i'd pass this on. Cheers.

No IL-96 in MEL today :confused:

Hey Tom that was me,

The IL96 was actually due into MEL at 1900L tonight from memory.

If it's true, then so much for the Fed Govt's ban on so-called 'noisy' An124's.:rolleyes:

Hey Nigel,

the An-124 did a few charters bout october/november this year to Cairns, Rockhampton and Perth I believe it was for the military exercise that was held in Rockhampton

Cheers Jacod. I didn't get your name.

Hey Tony just noticed the typo apologies for that lol.

That may be the case, but current regulations ban the An124 from Sydney from September 2010. There was a lengthy thread about it here http://yssyforum.net/board/showthrea...ighlight=An124

Hi Nigel,

Despite the ban that came in it should still be able to get in to Sydney. Someone mentioned it visited Perth not long ago where it is banned too. There are a bunch of exemptions which should allow it to come in especially the fact that nothing can really replace it. Even before the ban the An-124's could not visit Australia without special permits. Also if there was anything else that could do what the An-124 does then it could never visit Australia.

I'm sure you know this Nigel this is just incase anyone doesn't know, if this is true it should be allowed in regardless of the ban.

Landed MEL 1030am today.

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...

Okay guys... 0730 or 0930?

Looks like Jacob knows what he's talking about Neil and 7.30am was the origonal departure time. I'd rather a 730 arrival but im going with Jacob on a 930 arrival. I guess we'll find out:rolleyes:

Changed again today guys,

Due to Noumean weather now not due in until 1600L on Sunday 16/01 with an 0700L departure on Monday 17/01 to Melbourne.

So it's definetly not coming in til 1600L sunday? i really dont wanna miss it :)

Confirmed, at this stage not arriving till Sunday 1600 local.

Our info shows arrival will be from Darwin.

Volga-Dnepr VDA 2035 RA-82078.

Regards.

This a/c may still have 20th anniversary markings still on the aircraft.

Any departure time to Mel would be helpful if anyone can get it pls!

Thats correct Paul it arrived in Darwin from Singapore today. The speculation has been that its delayed in NOU due weather, yet spotted today in DRW.:confused:

Brian,
If you re-read Jacob P's post, you will find a departure time for when it heading to MEL.

arrrrr I see:eek:

So this plane has travelled from Central Asia to Australia. Wonder what's it carrying.

From the Singapore system it shows it landed in Singapore on 12th Jan @ 0821 from GYO. Departed Singapore on 15th Jan @ 0316 to Darwin. Initial plan was to take off to Darwin on the 13th. Flight number was VDA2034 for these two sectors, so i assume it will be the same for Sydney.

So its stills scheduled to come in today at 1600? runways 16L/R are in use at the moment but the wind is meant to change to the north east :)

Anybody know if it's still coming in :confused:

We should know very shortly.

Not showing anything on PP or Mode-S reciever.

Where are you getting your information from chris, we need updates
