OK here we go with the picture. I'm sorry for the bad quality, but the weather was really miserable for some good pictures
Anyway enjoy the AN124 from 7 different angles

Vonsmalhausen and myself were both ready at the refugee center to take pictures of this beauty when it would take off. But unfortunately it didn't took off on runway 25L but on 25R
I will post the log of the 3 hours of spotting in a new topic as well.

This Antonov is only 10 months old.
It first flew in the End of October 2003.
Until recently this was the youngest AN124 around.
Polet received a brand new AN124 in June this year.
Both Volga en Polet have ordered new once. As far as I know there are still 3 in production of wich one is nearly finished.

One cannot say that the production line is as active as the Airbus one...
Anyway it is great to know that more of the beats are in production!
