Antonov 124 Nose Opening
Posted by Breezyan@reddit | aviation | View on Reddit | 16 comments
Loved watching the Antonov's nose open in person! Security was pretty intense, otherwise I would've gotten closer. The video is at 2x speed. This bad boy landed at the SLC airport yesterday and will leave later today. Bonus: one of my coworkers knew someone on the crew and they gave him 3 patches. I'll drop the pic in the comments since Reddit can't do both video and pictures in the post.

The whole process of deploying the ramp takes FOREVER!!

Right?? I took a video of the ramp deploying too, but it's kinda crappy and over 2 minutes long lol. Seeing it fit that huge engine in there is crazy!

I took several photos of the process throughout the day that ended well after dark

That's a great pic! I love that it shows the tilting forward mechanic really well. So so sick.

I’ve flown on an Antonov about 10 times. Noisy as hell!
