It is indeed. What time did it end up taking off? I Checked webtrak but i didnt see it around the 6 oclock mark. Great shot Lee.

Gerald,

It pushed at 0815 and departed at 0900 .... 0600 was probably vodka time!

Nigel C · #23 6th June 2009, 02:37 PM

Only a full 12 hours after they said they were going to depart! Typical Russian timing!

Oops, I thought that might have been it...sorry if I got the two confused.

Thanks Lee. After all that i could have been there, but i decided it was better to stay in bed

.
So i'm confused now Andrew, there is still another one coming into Willie tomorrow night?

Couple of my efforts from today, most were ruined by the security lighting.

Perfect day, great to catch up with everyone.

Don't know sorry - I knew there was one due now-ish, and I just assumed that this was it. But if someone else says there's one due tomorrow night, this one might have been a different one. I think Nick W knows more...

Ah k thanks Andrew. And i don't know how people do but if they feel like sharing their secrets as to how they know of these sort of flights (these being the civilian and military cargo flights which aren't run of the mill), i'm all ears...i always here about them too too late.

Cheers
Gerard

Was just leaving for Bankstown when I heard a rumble in the skies and saw the An-124 heading westbound. Woke everyone up running upstairs to get my camera and take some snaps.

The pics are worthless, but thought I'd share anyway. Sorry for the blur and all. Still, glad to finally say I've seen an Antonov with my own eyes now!

Pictures taken from Woodcroft (near Blacktown), where we're priveliged to see a lot of the western departures.
