Yesterday, we had a second Antonov AN-124 pay Charlotte a visit from their temporary base in Leipzig, DE, supposedly bringing stuff for Siemens.
I ventured out in the early hours to catch it on the ramp, and even hung around to see it off, because I wanted to see it roll some coal, and it certainly did not disappoint in that regard.
Sweeet, it’s been awhile but here at SWF we would see A124’s a few times a year prior to the pandemic. A very impressive airplane to see, also it’s fun to go through all of our fuel trucks to give them 20,000 plus gallons.
