Lucy.P 168 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 http://slowtv.playtvak.cz/planespotting-0pr-/planespotting.aspx?c=A150624_164934_planespotting_cat At the moment the Antonov is at Prague if you want a look. My dodgy Czech translation is that the plane is being loaded with turbines and leaving for Australia tomorrow morning at 06.00..sounds like I will be monitoring the Flightradar tomorrow.

UKJim 502 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I am no plane spotter - but a while back now I was in my living room at home and thought to myself 'that doesn't sound like a normal plane' - so I went out into my back garden and saw this huge aircraft departing away from East Midlands airport It was great to see and very impressive even for a non-spotter like myself. I now use it as bragging rights to my friends to say I have seen it in the real world and not just pictures. So keep an eye out guys n' gals - it's a wonderful piece of technology! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 934 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 And it's coming my way.....though Australia is such a big place. I wonder what its exact destination is. Edit. Just discovered it's heading to Perth (over in the west).....the opposite side of the country to me. Oh well, maybe next time. Link to post Share on other sites

Oh well, maybe next time. The SIZE of the thing! You'll probably still see it I am rather excited because I have been watching the cameras on and off for ages to catch this thing, I wanted to see it's airport procedures - I guess it makes me an aviation version of a birdwatching twitcher. On Monday and Tuesday Prague had it's longest runway non-operational and ground staff spent time across both days checking it out yard by yard. I thought maybe a plane had reported a problem, it turns out that Prague simply doesn't want to feature in an Air Crash Investigation Special. *expect pictures and more unnecessary excitement from me as events unfold* Link to post Share on other sites

Lucy.P 168 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Imagine my surprise at the offer made for me to pilot to Turkmenistan on the first leg of our journey. Here we are over Ukraine following our 06.00 takeoff 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Wow, if you can talk your way into the left seat of that bird, you would be quite useful on the ATWC, where hitching free/cheap aircraft rides (or charging whatever you can get to the Mutley's CC... ) is very valuable skill set.
