Sorry Diver, wasn't trying to be MR. Smarty Pants or take over your thread, I just dig BIG planes...

judging from the unusual setup for take off (motoring to threshold) looks a lot like the images I found of Cairns..

Not offended, fascinated those are some BIG honking airplanes. Now, if I could only figure out how to get a jump out of one to add to my logbook!

I doubt they would notice you on board... opening doors might draw some attention however

I love the big planes... In Saudi we'd sit there and just watch the Earth Rotate under the C-5 Galaxies as they departed. They make a very cool growl, a sound that's pretty unique.

funny, I had the opposite reaction. Was thinking I haven't heard an engine quite like that in about 20 years. Western-built planes don't have that high whistle anymore since the Eurocrats started putting noise regs on aircraft engines. I wonder if operators of that Antonov need to get a waiver to fly in Europe (or the States).

Aside from the engines, I wonder how many runways can even support that beast. (she's also a beauty! )
