Anyone know anything? Curious minds would like to know...........?

Pop Surge on Volga Dnepr aircraft. Antonov Design Bureau aircraft in today bringing spare engine in

Thanks VP8 - I've watched with interest the goings on at the airport last week. I was hoping Friday to talk with the mechanics and maybe have a look at the aircraft, but no-one was there. Just my luck.

I saw the Antonov with the spare fly in today. I live right on the approach course to AFW - quite a sight!

If you can get airside access to the airport the guys are usually quite accomodating for a visit to the aircraft...
