I wonder what happened to the drone after the wake left by that behemoth reached it.

Super cool.
Seems like a pretty unstable rotation initially but climbing through 300-400(ish) the crew corrected it. As usual, pretty goddamn interesting to see that plane do it’s thing let alone from altitude |

One flew into Bakersfield at Meadows field around 20 years ago.
I could see it approaching from Arvin which is like 30 miles away... It had to drop down for approach from way the fuck out there. Whatever it was that was needed in Bakersfield, guessing oil industry related, must have been bg and expensive and a monuental fuck up |

Looks like the Antonov almost captured the drone, actually.

Saw one on approach at PBI one time. At first I thought a regular airliner was coming in way too low, then I realized it was just a monster of a plane. Looked up on flightaware and sure enough it was one of these beasts. Impressive.
ETA: Realized I actually saw the smaller AN-124, was still huge. |

Another addition.
Russians are a strange breed when it comes to aviation  Russian IL-76 attempts to crash during takeoff |

The -124s haul the hell outta GE gas turbine generators at CVG. For some dumb reason we at Comair won the bid to fuel it.
We had no fuel trucks to fuel it with. Gave to ASI. |

They can spell it in that crazy cuneiformish Cyrillic however they want.
In English, it’s Kiev. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I wonder what happened to the drone after the wake left by that behemoth reached it. Probably had enough zoom to be out of its path. Plus as long as it is not just under. And that plane is so big not much zoom should be needed. It looked like that runway should’ve been twice the length. But obviously it can handle it. Empty I supposed. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think they are finishing a second one now that was bought by the Chicoms who are supposedly financing more to be built. There was some talk of that years ago but Ukraine ran Antonov into the ground and they haven't produced an aircraft in 6 years now. I can't imagine that many engineers or skilled workers would still be there, most likely they got poached by Russian companies. |
