Antonov An-225 at Manchester Airport

[justtourin1]

This Monday at 10am. The largest aircraft in the world and only been to Manchester once before in 2006.
It's coming in to pick up ship parts for Korea and due out on Tuesday.

Would the best place to see the plane be the airport pub or are there any other better places where I could park the car and see it?

Ar$e, would've loved to see the Mriya in the metal.

[Scotty2]

Oh Oh I'm near there on Tuesday. When is she due out on Tuesday?

I need to see this.

[Composite Guru]

I was at Farnborough in 1990 when it first came out. It was a sight to behold!!

The Aviation viewing park would be the best bet I reckon.

I suspect you could see it from anywhere within the M60!

Seriously though, anybody know it's route as I'd like to keep my eye out even though I'll be in Liverpool?

Due to take off on Tuesday @ 09:00

Comes in to East Midlands Airport relatively often.

[Magog]

Is there a handy way of keeping track of it's future movements? No chance of me seeing it this time sadly.

[W124Bob]

Day off so I'm getting the bike out for a cycle over to the viewing area, mind you the weather doesn't look good just now!

[Stupeo]

Doesn't appear to be in the air yet?

Sorry, I don't know the call sign.

I'm about half a mile from the end of the runway, on the third floor of an office block. Assuming they don't turn the runway around, I should get a pretty good view of it.
