Finally, I was able to catch a AN-124 at PHL. At 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning I woke up and took the dog out . I came back in at 8:05 and no one was up yet so I checked my e-mail. Paul the Gentleman that organized the PHL Spotters group sent an e-mail that an AN-124 was coming in at 8:45 a.m.. Hmmm... it's now 8:10 can I make it?? Sure can and not a cop in sight all the way down thank God!!

Man, that's a big aircraft!!

Enjoy!!

I have pictures of that very same aircraft, although mine are not quite that good. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1181694611/0#0

Nice shots! As I was driving down to the beach this past weekend we drove past Dover AFB and saw a C-17 on final. I can only imagine how cool the An-124 must have been. Great shots!

Thank you, Guys!!

Seems like this one is all over the country. He was coming from CHS Sunday morning and I just found out he was at PHL again this morning at 8:23 and left at 11:05 a.m. They use Atlantic Aviation at PHL as a refueling center.

A quote from one of my favorite movies!! Thanks Alrot!!

Thanks Mark, we may not get a lot of international flights here but, the AN-124 seems to stop here alot.
It's mostly in the A.M. You will have to keep an eye out for it when you get to Philly in August!! If your
coming in on a U S Airways Dash 8 you will probably taxi right by it if it's here!!
