The Antonov An22 is the biggest propeller plane in the world. Although I already filmed it in Oostende in 2017 I decided to drive to Leipzig to film it again. The opportunity to film it taxing above the motorway bridge was the main reason why I drove 450km to Leipzig Airport. The southern runway at LEJ was closed which is normally not the case and that` s why the Antonov 22 had to taxi to runway 09L. To get there the AN22 has to cross the motorway via a bridge which looks quite spectacular in my opinion.
The routing of the An-22 was Leipzig - Bremen - Leipzig - Baku. They flew an expensive camping van from Bremen to Baku. Due to the short runway at Bremen, the AN22 had to return to Leipzig for a fuel stop which was just perfect for me cause I was able to film this beautiful jet three times within 10 hours.
Thanks for watching, new videos every tuesday and friday.
