Antonov An124 in Brisbane

On the 22nd of January 2013 at 14:45, an Antonov An124 (UR-82009) flew in to Brisbane airport to make a delivery of some sort. 

I took these photos from my backyard at Coopers Plains, with the An124 at a height of around 3000 feet. Unfortunately, it wasn't the best weather for photography, but I'm pretty chuffed with the results I managed to get.

It certainly was a huge plane! As a matter of fact, it's the third biggest operating cargo plane in the world, behind the one off Antonov An225, and the new Boeing 747-8F.
