Sorry, didnt take any of the actual approach, but I took a few after we landed...

I'd sure like to see an AN-225! I think the AN-124s are pretty regular visitors to East Midlands Airport (Nottingham East Midlands sounds stupid) so maybe I should find out when the next arrival will be!

Yes, I beleive there is; and that one in the shot is probably the AN-124...look closely and you can only make out 4 engines instead of the six on the 225....but still...both are enormous aircraft ;)
