Does anybody know what jet this is?
 
Mods, I'm not sure which forum to post in. This seemed to be somewhat general. I have seen it at BWI, ATL, and OKC. But I have no idea what kind of jet it is or what company it's for. The tail has a Russian flag on it, I think. The fact that I've seen it 4 times is boggling me.

Thanks for any input.

My guess: It's an Antonov AN-124

Volga Air AN-124.

Sounds to me that FlyNFront was right on target. There's a slightly larger photo of an AN-124 in the same livery from almost exactly the same angle here.

Thanks for the help there. But I wonder why this plane would land in OKC for a few days. Is it a cargo carrier for anyone in specific?

This AN-124 is mainly chartered to carry AAA-grade extra large cargo wherever needed. It went to TPE a while back, bringing in equipment for Michael Jackson's concert tour. I've also seen it chartered to carry subway train cars, airplanes engines, helicopters, stuff like that.

Question answered, and nothing to do with miles or points.. I'm going to close this here.
