Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I think the most telling photo of the massiveness of this beasty is the shot of it leaving tire marks JUST FROM ROLLING...my god, the tires they must go through at a grand a POP. Wonderful collection of photos of a remarkable aircraft and crew. Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I was lucky enough to have seen this takeoff flying the SID over my old house a while back coming from East Midlands airport. I'm not a spotter or anything - was simply working from home one day and heard a plane that sounded different, took a look and to my surprise it was this beast. I'd only ever seen one in fsx so it was great to see for real. I was alone and buzzing hehe. Great pics on that site really shows the scale - nice find! Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'm going to have to save a bunch of bucks to buy one of these for QuikAire in AH. I'll also need a new base with 3500m of runway. Thanks for the post, Nigel. Very interesting aircraft. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
