Don't know if it was the way I was watching it but did it seem to have a bit of a right-hand tilt just before touchdown :?:

Pretty cool .The AN225 and the AN124 will sit on the rny. and run their f##king engines, as you saw ,for almost 5 minutes . A real bitch for ATC to control and "your" AN225 must have caused headaches . Not much overshoot protection there with that guy on final .

I loved how the alarms went off on the car park after she flew over. That must have been loud!

Sr01 I hear you mate. The famous "request six minutes on the runway" feel like a lifetime while you're juggling with your other traffic. :-D

Mamm mia indeed! The lights give nothing away as to the size of the thing - you just see the lights moving forward, and you can tell how wide it is, but then it appears out of the darkness and it's like :shock: HUGE!! And yeah, dig the car alarms :lol:

I didn't know it needs 5 minutes for the engines, understood why it stayed there for so long. :roll:
BTW, not a big problem for the ATC at that hour, just a couple of A320 in landing on 35R (as usual), It took off from 35L, no other aircraft in queue.
Unfortunately I can't hear it's noise at full, because I was inside Trerminal 1 on the other side of the airport.
BTW, I can say "I was there" :smt003 :smt003 8)

When that thing takes off, it's not a departure, it's an event......
