Digging up old Concorde photos , I found theses , AN124 , the first western debut at the 1988 Australian Bicentennial Airshow . yeah yeah - ok old news , Its what it did ..a Wing over from the runway level , and bring it down to a 2xwingspan alt away from the ground ..
I had my face in an VideoCam , Guess footage should go to Simtube/Utube format .. Was just nice to hear 150thousand say " FU......................... " in a silience and still waiting for a 'K'

I labeld the Topic AN124 with the 225 in mind , since Allan my brother caught some super shots of the AN225 aircraft at the Paris 1989 Airshow .

Now that pilot has some big balls!!!! Excuse the bluntness, but geez!

Actually he must have Big Hard Balls there is a difference. What a crazy monkey.....

Woa nice one Ian. What was the outcome?

well they say the russians have no fear, and their flight displays show it well, be bloody hard to keep up with that thing doing that crazzy stuff

reminds me of Jimmy at Forum Field...
just on the 225, the lead designer died recently: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/topic/story.c ... 06&ref=rss

Wow, that's crazy
I sure hope that is someone just taking pictures from strange angles

Thanx Zolt , Missed that piece of News , The pilot displaying the 124 was 59 in 88 , be good idea to dig up all the Paris Air Show pics showin the 225 in respect to an amazing designer.

Wow... I never thought that would be physically possible!

Dude ... I'm sure the SUN dose not shine from the ground I did mention , I filmed this little act on tape , Bro had a SLR , the tape is in Albury/wodonga ,

As u can see a new roll off film .. this was the starter run to the wing over i do have a photo somewhere showin his prox to ground , using the span as a ruler , super display pilot this was follow by a near typical display .... if you were tring to sell ATRs for passenger comfort , thing is then 88, now the worlds largest Aircraft ! all the C5 Galaxy could say was Oorr ya Bloody show off ! , Back then 'CONDOR' could only say

BACK OFF BOY'O .. i have a Bigger Brother ! .... C5 said HA HA !

Nice shots Ian - anymore shots of 88? Hawk-200, Kiwi Red, F-15, Tornado, Ventura, Neptune, F-18 or Mirage 111?

When the 747-400 prototype was doing tests , it was found to the heaviest aircraft ever to leave the ground at 411 ton's , I recall 1989 ..... it sorta got beaten by this beast , the first aircraft to leave the ground at over 600 tons! photos courtesy of my brother Allan

Mars?

i would hate to rotate those tyres!!! she is an awesome a/c to think it sat neglected for along time after the Russian shuttle program got canned, it was rebuilt to carry the really big loads that the an-124 couldn't carry saw a great program on discovery that i recorded, apparently they are looking at rebuilding the second one if demand requires it
