So there I was...laying out in the pool at my folks' home northwest of PBI, when I hear a massive roar shatter the skies above the house...looking up, I see a massive 4 engine plane roar overhead pretty low, no higher than about 2500 feet, at its highest...it was easily identifiable as an An-124...I immediately got out of the pool, shouted a couple of expletives (which caused my folks to come running outside, thinking I was about to drown or something) as I watched the beauty fly overhead as it made a graceful right turn just after passing over...I hastily dried off and went to flightaware, and it seems this bird was coming in from Leipzig and it was a Volga-Dnepr bird...any idea what it's bringing in or picking up and how long it's staying??
