A fair sized crowd usually congregates at the Aviation Viewing Park to see the afternoon departure of the Emirates Airbus A380, but the crowds were bigger than usual on this day to watch the Antonov An124 depart.
In this view from one of the raised mounds, we see RA-82078 of Volga Dnepr sitting on the end of the runway spooling up the engines prior to departure.
