I don't recall - I would have taken a picture but I'd already turned off my phone in preparation for takeoff. I've seen plenty of AN-124s - they'd make semi-regular appearances when I was working at Boeing Field, usually bringing in new 777 engines when one of the engine manufactures was late on their deliveries.
It wasn't the sight of the AN-124 that I thought was unusual, it was the bit about it being parked on closed runway in the middle of the airfield, and the four black SUVs...
