Antonov Antonov AN-124 · UR-82073

About This Photo

The primary subject is an Antonov An-124-100 large cargo aircraft, registration UR-82073, positioned on a wet taxiway preparing for taxi or takeoff. The aircraft is oriented to the right, showing its left side profile. The white fuselage features the prominent blue "ANTONOV" logo on the tail fin with blue and yellow striping extending across the fuselage and engine nacelles. The labeling "INTERNATIONAL CARGO TRANSPORTER" and "ANTONOV 124-100" are visible near the nose, along with its multiple sets of main wheels, which are clearly visible extended on the landing gear. In the secondary background, there are no other aircraft or ground vehicles visible near the aircraft. The scene takes place at what appears to be a regional airport with a runway or taxiway surrounded by green grass patches. Beyond the airfield, a body of water is visible, with a residential area composed of numerous houses and dense trees on the far shore. The weather conditions appear overcast with diffuse daylight, moist pavement indicating recent or ongoing rain, and low visibility clouds obscuring distant features. There are no airport buildings or personnel visible within the immediate frame.
