• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I was rolling down the road today and a strange bird cought my attention. 747? Naa. Its bigger. Wow a Galaxy? Naa it's white with a light blue tail. As it came closer on final it had a familiar silouette, Russian? When I looked it up it was an AN 124 with the words Antonov Design Bureau on the tail. Some kind of international cargo outfit, today coming to KMSP. A rare sight indeed.
 
Red Fred!

There's one even bigger, it's big brother!

If you see that one, then you've truly see a very rare, indeed unique, aircraft. I have to give the Russians credit for creating large cargo aircraft. They've made some very good ones over the years.

They have been coming thru MSP a lot this last week. In this particular case they have been using us as a stop going to MCAS El Centro and then back to RAF Brize Norton. They sound really different. I wish I could properly describe it.
