AN-225 BNE Tuesday 19/1/10
Apparently due at 1500. First time here. Anybody know any more?
|
I saw a AN12 take off from Brissy once, took all of the runway to get off. When it headed east the thick black trail it left looked like it had a cargo of burning tyres on board. You could still see the wavering black plume fifteen minutes after take off!!!!
|
Not an AN12 but watch this IL (just) make it out of CBR
May be an oldie but still a goodie (first time I've done this - hope it works) H It didn't! And that clip has been posted here before. Tail Wheel |
What is the reason for the 225s visit?
|
Ho hum
Just tried to copy my own link into IE - didn't work Just go to youtube and enter "IL76 departing (almost) CBR About a pucker factor 8 I would have thought H |
Apparently it has some goodies on board including NH90 helicopter
|
I've seen the AN225 from a distance at Dubai a couple of time.
It's rather large. I'd highly suggest that everyone that's close with a camera try to get a few photos of it. |
Talk it isn't the -225 but a garden variety -124?
|
Ugly plane, but funny video. "We have Smirnoff". Love it.
I wonder what his performance calcs were like. Engine failure after takeoff, betcha he was no where near OCTG on climbout. Anyone confirm it's just an MRH90 that's coming over inside? |
AN225 to Brisbane tomorrow!! - Sydney Airport Message Board
These blokes seem to think it's a AN-124... |
just saw this big baby on finals into Rwy 01 at approx 14.01pm. looks like an AN-124 but I'm no expert. :ok:
|
Ok, so missed it today coming in because of work, what time is it departing?
|
Was indeed the 124. Disappointed, though the FM radio is insisting that it is coming, and is merely 'running late'...
|
Nice one Eurocopter/Aust Aerospace...get all the spotters and media worked up into a lather to help promote your product, and then blame a late aircraft change for the error! That 124 would've arrived in Marignane to load up three days ago...:suspect:
The 225 was never coming - it was either some PR hack who wouldn't know a 225 from a Cessna - someone says Antonov, he does a quick wiki search, and presto! Or, something more devious to promote the arrival in country of the NFH 90... Bet ya Jens kicks some butt! |
AN-225
how can you mistake the 6 engined Giant of the AN-225 (or as hollywood call it the AN-500) over the Much smaller :} AN-124?
The Мрія would be pretty good to see in the flesh though... Got to hand it to those Ukrainians and Russians... how does one get a job as an F/O on it? |
I'm sure there is a drinking challenge involved somewhere in the selection process. Possibly followed immediately by a sim ride.
|
I'm confused. Was it an MRH or an NFH that came in the back of the -124?
Because if it was an NFH, then it's clearly apparant that the Government DEFINITELY wants them in lieu of the MH-60R for the Navy. They squashed the Navy's fast track request for the R last month, demanding a tender process, and then three weeks later there's an NFH in country? Could someone be so kind as to clarify for me please? |
Twas the NFH and a mock up:ok:
|
how does one get a job as an F/O on it? Impressive aircraft, though. Possibly worth it...Actually, I thought an AN-225 had come to YBBN once, in the early nineties. AN-124s are reasonably common, maybe three a year. |
There is only one "airworthy" AN 225 in the world
