Thanks to Bill Striffler for the heads up - an IL-76 at PBI.

Also, the first clear shot I have managed to get of disgraced billlionaire Jeffrey Epstein's Boeing 727 that sits at PBI pretty much all the time...

Hey Mark those girls told him they were 18! :mrgreen:

The IL-76 just filed a flight plan for SAV - so going to try and get a smoky departure.

you won't see much smoke mark, those are the new engines on that Candid.

[MarkLawrence]

You were right Matt - there wasn't much - until she passed around 3,000' - then there was a bit of smoke from the engines - apart from that - she was very light leaving here - up in just over 1/2 the runway and a pretty decent climb.

Here's the departure today...

I'm glad you got those pictures,as I was there on Friday,on my way home to Des Moines,and snapped some through the glass shots of them. I wondered who owned that 727.

WOW what a super catch! I might have been tempted to drive 3 hours to PBI and catch it! lol

The departure shot is especially wonderful! It just says: from Russia, with love...

Still hoping this thing will one day show up to borelando MCO or I get lucky and catch it at MIA someday. As far as I'm aware it's been years since one of these very sexy beasts have showed up here in Florida.
