Great Photos as Antonov Airlines (Antonov Design Bureau) AN-124-100M-150 UR-82008 Departs Rockhampton Airport

As predicted, early on Thursday 29 August, the visiting Antonov Airlines (Antonov Design Bureau) AN-124-100M-150 UR-82008 was photographed as it departed Rockhampton Airport for Peya Lebar Air Base in Singapore as ADB332F.

As posted below, it arrived the previous day from Paya Lebar and brought four Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) Boeing AH-64D Apache helicopters to Rockhampton Airport for the upcoming Singapore Armed Forces Exercise Wallaby 2024 (XWB24).

The Antonov is due to return to Rockhampton Airport from Paya Lebar late on Friday 30 August with another load of RSAF helicopters - possibly some of their new H225M which have replaced their older Super Puma helicopters.

We shall wait and see!
