For you guys working down at the airport, keep an eye open for my spaceship  Wink (satellite) if your a plane guy it's coming in on the Antonov, worlds biggest plane(although I thing the C5 is bigger)

Should be fairly easy to spot

  Well we had an Antonov 225 dropping off some space related cargo. It came from Rome and is on its way Anchorage, Alaska from what I heard. That plane took on about 100,000 litres of fuel and it took a pair of Esso tanker trucks a number of trips and apparently their reserves to fuel it. I should bring the digi with me if you say that monster is on its way I might be able to get some up close shots of it. Kevin

Yup that was my stuff, 4 tractor trailer loads of crap now I gotta unpack it all Undecided

100,000 Liters of fuel, jeez and I think I'm paying too much at the pumps, these guys must be shitting their drawers at the price jump. Did they shop the price around they had cheap gas at Petro Canada on Hunt Club, they should of swung in there Roll Eyes

Your only limitations are set from within, by a lack of vision.  But to have vision alone leaves the process idle.  Ergo, without action your thoughts are worthless.

  It was an Antonov 124 that came in. I was hoping to see the 225 you had pictured. A huge plane none the less, comparable to the C-5 Galaxy. As a Russian classmate of mine assured me "Soviets make things bigger and better than Americans" I think it looks like a BA-146 on steroids Grin. It dropped off a satellite and a Canadarm according to my source.

Shot-in-the-dark here...

Did any of that equipment happen to roll west down Hunt Club on a flatbed earlier this week?  I can't remember which day it was, but in the afternoon crawl home we ended up passing a flatbed carrying an odd-shaped container.  The container had "satellite enclosure" or something to that effect stenciled all over it.
