I have noticed the past week or so that there is a distinct lack of An-124 activity on FA. I read a report in my local paper of an AN-124 visit to Winnipeg, and that it’s visit was all " hush hush ". I know, the fact I read about in the paper really means it wasn’t all that hushed. There was mention of it being chartered by the US military.
So, is there a big push on by the US Government that requires these flights to be blocked because they are " military " or is this a lull in An-124 activity and nothing more?
As an aside, I was able to track the deliveries of the Canadian Leopard Tanks from Edmonton through Goose Bay a few months previous. Easy in Canada because we have to contract out all our heavy lift needs until delivery of ordered C-17’s. One of my friends wanted some pictures so I have been tracking, hoping one will fuel up close to home.
There is actually been several,i live close enough to a flight path they traverse all the time,also maybe a little lull,i know they have been used overseas more in the last couple of weeks.
I was thinking a lull. I usually see three to four per week coming through my area. But the time I want to go out and “see” one there are none. Like Big Foot!
The flight I thought was blocked showed up with **mduell’**s help. That was VDA4728. I also noticed that Gander Center had a mistype and entered one as type: An-24.
