• 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.

spotted Antonov An-124 at MCAS Miramar

They're a pretty impressive sight and I've been lucky enough to see them in several places. The most interesting time was after landing on a drop zone at Fort Lewis, one An-124 flew over on final to McChord AFB. A little later, two Sukhoi fighters flew over. I could only guess that perhaps they were going to some USAF exercise.

Having considered them an OPFOR aircraft throughout the Cold War, I always do a second take whenever I see one.
 
They are regular visitors here in Ottawa. You usually hear them about an hour before you see them. (Only a "slight" exaggeration:icon_lol:)
