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.
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.
Hey Mark I'm glad you were able to get out the and get some shots, very nice sir!
