    If anyone's interested, at 6pm an Antonov AN-225 (biggest plane in the world apparently) is landing at East Midlands Airport.


    Going to go down with Dad as long as the weathers nice.

    Just the night, lands today at 6pm and leaves at 10am tomorrow.


    Just hoping it's not too busy at the viewing spots, :D



    Watching a few vids Evo, I'm not even sure how they fly, I think it involves breaking the laws of physics, :D

    That's a damn shame, not going via the South Coast at all is it?

    I'm taking my camera with me, I'll try and get a good video.


    Having just seen a video of it at Manchester airport, where there were loads of people around the perimeter, I'm starting to wonder just how busy it's going to be, :D

    Well we didn't get to see it.

    Got there and there were hundreds of people already there, parking was very awkward and nearly all of it wasn't legal. We stayed till 6pm, then heard people saying it was delayed till 7:15, so we gave up, Police had just arrived presumably to get people to move the cars so we left just at the right time, :D.


    Just looked on flighttracker and it looks like it arrived somewhere around 7:45pm.

    Was going to go and watch it take-off at 10am tomorrow, but then realised I'm working, so that's not going to happen, :D


    Have to wait for the next time, :D

    Definitely going to wait next time, :D. I was stood just to the left of the bloke in the first video, :D.


    Mum and Dad went for a walk this morning and saw it after it had taken off at 11:45am, so it was even delayed on takeoff here, :D
