I've seen the 224 a couple of times. It landed in the town I grew up in to deliver a large slew bearing (like 9mtrs Dia) when I was a young kid, and another time was headed to site and we had to wait for it to take off from the Perth Airport. An-225 is next level. Apparently it's coming back several more times in the next 18mths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(hint most airports have more than one flight path) Also: I also live about 20kms from Pearce Airforce Base so Military traffic spotting is also abundant.
