AN22

The time is September 1988. The place is Farnborough Air Show. On Monday afternoon, the soviet AN-124 blew an engine at the beginning of the take-off roll and aborted. Then, as we were preparing to leave on Wednesday evening, a never heard sound came from the sky: a soviet AN22 Ante was coming to the rescue with a replacement engine. What comes with the fabulous sound of the gigantic engines is a hair-raising landing . WOW. After the AN22 rolls to parking area, you can see the UDF MD-80 demonstrator landing. At the end of the video, the next day, the AN22 take-off brings back the fabulous music of the four Kusnetko engines Doppler fading as it runs down the runway (you feel the sound in your shaking belly!). Sorry for the heads ......
