Ok, guys, here's the deal. Today, we already had Antonov 124; it sits at the usual spot, but it's faced North. The reason is, that on 06/10/04, we'll have both Volga Dnepr and Polet at the same time! I will be nailing them from the ramp; I hope you guys can make it out there and nail them both from outside. Oh, and by the way - Polet's registration is RA-82077, and Volga Dnepr is coming at around 10 am.

Indeed, it was my unbadged brother and we were near the lav truck. I kept threatening to put some rubber gloves on Vitaly's head , and yes, we did have a lot of fun. Pics will be in the queue shortly.

Tim,
We were escorted out there by a certain individual , plus, I am badged, so it would have never been a big deal anyway. Now I'll know the schedule and post it for everyone in DEN to see!

Well, as far as I know there is nothing wrong with you being escorted out there. As long as you are with your escort there shouldn't be a problem. Also as long as you don't cross the "active" line out there you are fine too.
The only time I have ever had any problems inside the fence was when Bush was here and when the F-16s were here last summmer. Other than that, if you are badged you should be fine as long as you dont get on the taxiways/runways.
The thing is though, as we all know, DIA has a way of changing the rules when they feel fit to do so.

Thanks Vitaly, can't wait to see those shots from where you were standing! I think I uploaded one of the landing shots, and one other. Personally, I would have preferred either a much earlier, or much later landing. 12 noon is about as bad as it gets light wise.... That is one spotless bird though.

Tim,
Antonovs usually rotate early, but they climb kinda like A-340 on a hot day . Anyway, I think Polet leaves on 16th; I'll try to get more info out of my contacts. Hope to see some more tower shots.

Great pics guys!
I think the DEN-SAN flight with the An-124 has something to do with ferrying defense equipment (something to do with rockets I think) from what I've heard...

The schedules on those things are awful unpredictable, last year RA-82077 sat around YQG for a whole week, only to depart within 15 minutes of another An-124 (that one from ADB), good times, good times... No Ruslans at YQG since.

I've heard that too, Greg. If you've seen Bowling for Columbine, Michael Moore mentions that Lockheed Martin ships missile parts from their JeffCo plant to the airport at least once a month. I'm assuming this is at least one reason the An-124's come here...
