An-225 @ NATO Airbase Geilenkirchen Dec 14, 2007

[migf4]

Good morning gents,

as the "Mriya" was once again scheduled to arrive in Germany, I was able to take some shots of the arrival @ GK yesterday morning.
As you never know when you might see it again I decided to head to GK and I was not disapointed.
Despite the cold and freezing temperatures, it was a great day for all of us, when your able to see the "beast"!

Hope you enjoy the pictures, and excuse the darkness on them too... but it was still grey in grey when the An-225 - but hey, at least we were able to see the landing without fog [:306]

Cheers
Mick
