Now that Coppermine is fully active, I can finaly share my pics with all the Luchtzak-members. Here's some pics from january 9th, 2003. It was 0125 when this beauty came in and it was freezing -8°C ... but it was worth it !!! We had ramp-acces and could take as many pictures as we liked. We also visited the inside (cargo-hold, cockpit, crewrest) but unfortunatly I cannot upload these pics ...

Enjoy !

Thanks is a lot.

I really like this big lady. What a plane really nice to see and also the sounds of those contra rotating props is really nice to here.
Hope to see the plane within a short time again.

Best Regards,

Just for my information, does the An-22 have counter-rotating propellers?

Props of the AN22 are indeed counterrotating Andre.
This gives the plane it's unique sounds
