Antonov 225 in BFS this Friday?

[Art0ir]

Heard this from a number of people now but I can't find any times or information online? Any suggestions as to where to find out if it's nonsense or not? If not I'll be down for a few snaps!

Kind offer, at the minute I have nothing to go on.

Edit: I know the airline is Antonov Airlines

It's not an acronym.

Just found it's the smaller AN124 coming in to lift some aircraft wings for stress testing. Should still be an impressive sight, 2nd or 3rd largest cargo plane on Earth.

I saw an AN-124 landing at Brize Norton today.

It was definetly not one of those, the 4 jet engines gave it away.

Great pics - all a bit Thunderbirds eh?

[Vieste]

Very good photos.

This is like the film 'Ronin'. We're all mightly impressed by the vehicle, but we'll probably never know what's in the package!

The clue is written on the lifting beam.
