Horrible pic sorry, had to zoom in as much as I could before we turned while taxing. Saw this thing from afar at EWR today….at first I saw a hump and 4 engines thinking it was some white 747 with an aqua tail. Then I got a better glimpse and while it was 4 engines it was big, but the wings were mounted more on the top (like the C17s above). Any idea what this is?

I remember seeing one of those Antonovs at BDL once where it truly dwarfed everything around it.

An Antonov An-124 used to make a fairly regular appearance at ANC. It's a medium-sized plane, kind of like a taller, fatter, stubbier 767 or something. What I'd love to see someday (and what CMK10 may have seen) is the six-engined An-225.

FYI, the KLM plane is actually a A330-200. A dead giveaway to distinguish the A330 family from the 777 family is the winglets--330s have them, 777s don't.

Good eye, I corrected that. I think the Korean Air pic is my favourite, it is a very sharp one, I am proud of my pan on that photo!

777s also have six-wheel main landing gear and are the only commercial aircraft that do so. If it's a 777, it has six wheels. If it has six wheels, it's a 777.
