Flight plan of An-124 from PANC-KSFO on 4/27/17 is all coastal?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I got a hot tip, and was following VDA3020 (Volga-dnepr) today but noticed flight path was coastal all the way south. It's definitely longer and wondering why they picked this route instead of cheaper direct.

 

By the way, I got to see her in the dark and noticed red/green lights were off with two strobe flashing. Pretty amazing.

 

Thank you for any input.

Hello,

 

Just a follow-up - the AN-124 had flown out KSFO rwy 1, which is the shorter option to the usual 28R/L. Last week, another flew in/out the next day on 28L with normal glide slope which was surprising as I thought she would be loaded. The next destination was South Carolina.

 

Was a little funny listening to ATC when he told Southwest flight to hold position after land as, "I'm not sure where Antonov who flew in before you is parking".
