AN22
The time is September 1988. The place is Farnborough Air Show. On Monday afternoon, the soviet AN124 blew an engine at the beginning of the takeoff roll and aborted. Then, as we were preparing to leave on Wednesday evening, a never heard sound came from the sky: a soviet AN22 Ante was coming to the rescue with a replacement engine. What comes with the fabulous sound of the gigantic engines is a hairraising landing. WOW. After the AN22 rolls to parking area, you can see the UDF MD80 demonstrator
