An Il-76 is parked at Signature Flight Services on the south side of Palm Beach International Airport. According to airport personnel, the aircraft arrived today (Thursday) and is scheduled to leave either Sat or Sun. It brought in a crew of 13. No explanation for the visit.
This is not the first time PBI has seen some heavy Russian equipment, but I'm pretty sure this is the first visit by an Il-76. Previously I have spotted an AN-124 loading up "gently used" military helicopters (I believe they were blackhawks) for use overseas.
I will try to grab some pics tomorrow....only had my camera phone with me this evening and it takes lousy photos.
