AN 225 at Eindhoven
 

The Antonov 225 will come to Eindhoven 14 july in the afternoon and depart the next day.

Do you know which way it will be heading when it leaves, please?

To Afghanistan with military equipment for the dutch army.

OK thanks.... won't see it in the UK then!!

There was one in Seoul Incheon yesterday (13th), have no idea if it was the same one, or for that matter how many there are flying!

Only one An.225 is flying. It's a long jump from Seoul to Eindhoven in less than twenty four hours.

I don't really consider myself a "spotter" but this has piqued my curiosity.

From Wikipedia: Cruise speed 430Kts (there are headwinds en-route ICN-EIN but the average would be about -30kts at this time of year so ground speed 400kts)
The Great Circle distance from ICN-EIN is 4651nm, and would therefore take a time of 11:38 obviously you rarely get the chance to fly the exact great circle route, so say 12Hrs.

I have no idea of it's payload out of Seoul, or when it left or was due to leave, but with the time difference between Korea and the Netherlands, even if it had to make a tech. stop to refuel I would have thought it could easily be in EIN by the afternoon of the 14th.

But then again what do I know;)

The 225 is in Eindhoven now landed at 15,00 local time it will leave again tomorrow (15 July)

Unless I'm very much mistaken there was one parked up at Schipol last Friday. Impressive beast!
