Volga-Dnepr Airlines Antonov An-124-100 visits Long Beach

Nice 3/4 qtr front look at the An-124.


Arrives on a simply gorgeous morning here in SoCal and as you can see, the aircraft sports special "20 Years" markings celebrating the carriers years in service.


US Airways Express (Mesa Airlines) Canadair CL-600-2D24 Regional Jet CRJ-900ER (c/n 15013) N913FJ holds short of Rwy 30 as the massive An-124 arrives.


Smokes the mains on Rwy 30.

Volga-Dnepr Airlines Antonov An-124-100 "Ruslan" (c/n 9773054155101) RA-82043 arrived this morning from CFB Goose Bay Airport (YYR/CYYR) at 07:03 PST as "VDA1108."
