AN 124

Location : Bristol

I see from the recent photos section that an AN124 flew in to Brize recently.
Is there any way of knowing when one is due to be arriving - as I'd love to see one, but only ever find out after the event Crying

Thanks for any info. Mark.

The best way is to use www.flytecomm.com on the left hand side, click the orange button (GO) then scroll down down to arrival airport. Enter EGVN in the arrival airport section and it will list civvy movements in to Brize. AN124's will show as any of the following: Antonov design bureau (ADB), Polet or Volga Dpner (think ive spelt the last one wrong Embarassed

)

The times on Flytecomm are not completly accurate, I would allow 30 minutes either side of what that site tells you. Hope that helps Cheers

You can use Flytecomm to get the departure time as well, but ive never been able to do it successfully yet Embarassed

I know Stubie worked out how to do it, but he is away on RAF training Razz

Two ways I know of which works from experice of Filton: You predict where they are going and check the destination airport on Flytecomm or you can predict the flight number.
