Strange large freighter (?) over Adelaide, South Aust
I'm not a regular here (and only a student PPL to boot) but I was wondering if anyone could help me identify an aircraft which I assume to be a freighter
For the second Saturday evening running, a very large aircraft with no noticeable marking has passed over my house at about 2030 on its way to Adelaide airport. I'm about 8kms from that airport.
Description from below:
All over grey with no apparent markings or windows
Very large swept wings which look high mounted
Four engines on pylons well spread across wingspan
'Pods' like wing tanks near the tip of each wing with what appear to be small propellors on the front of them
The undercarriage looks 'conventional' - ie no rows of wheels set close to fuselage
Large vertical stabiliser
Very loud jet noise, almost at mil jet level, overlaid by a continuous high pitched ringing noise
I thought it might be an Antonov or an Ilyushin.
I'd be grateful for any ideas.
