Great photo opportunity tomorrow morning at Alicante airport
| The Comments |
A flying visit from the world's biggest aircraft will land tomorrow at Alicante tomorrow at 08:30 hours. This is a great opportunity for all you photographers.
The plane has been commandeered to carry the new boat for the Telefonica team which the team will use when competing in the Volvo Ocean Race starting 11th October. The boat will be flying in from Auckland, New Zealand, having made two refuelling stops in Indonesia and Azerbaijan.
The first YouTube video shows you the big bird landing, the second (I've needed to use a second post as only one embed code can be used per post). shows you around the interior.

I thought from the title that you and Chris were coming out for a visit and were just letting the paparazzi know!

When it comes to aircraft the Russians do believe that biggest is best!. Before the An-225 came on stream one of the biggest aircraft was its predecessor the An-22
Right here is a rather interesting take off of the An-22...
Listen especially to the ATC Controller doing the filming...

Saw one of them "Smirnoff" at Stanstead, I think, some years ago. Reminded me somewhat of the Vogon constructor fleet - "hanging in the air in exactly the same way bricks don't". (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, for the uninformed)
