Kid you not, I was leaving the airport that day and what did I spot on the runway? A Anotov AN-124!So I took a look on Airliners.net, and it was this same one . . .

Wish I had my camera ready. Was anyone else there to see it?

I've seen(I think) the same one at KBWI. It was pretty far away, but it was in the cargo area, so i'm assuming that's what it was.

It would have to be either special air cargo or a government plane, to my knowledge, russian made planes are not allowed in the U.S. for saftey reasons.

I was at DEN on 9/23 and saw it, but when I returned on 9/25 it was gone...the An-124 at DEN is a regular visitor here as there is a plant nearby that builds oversize rocket parts, but that plant is being moved to Alabama so the days of the An-124 coming here on a regular basis will be over soon...

That explains it! Thanks! I'll be spotting aircraft in Europe next month, if I see anything good I'll post it in a new thread.
