An-124s and MV-22s

Over the last two days, I've been able to snag some interesting aircraft passing through the Savannah area. Yesterday, two Antonov An-124s from Volga-Dnepr Aviation arrived at Hunter AAF; they departed to Victorville, CA this morning, no doubt transporting some sort of heavy equipment to the National Training Center. Two MV-22 Osprey's passed by Savannah on their way to Wright Field at Fort Stewart this morning.

The An-124s used the callsigns VDA 1783 and VDA 1807 when they arrived and departed as VDA 4324 and VDA 4326. Luckily they arrived yesterday using Runway 28 at Hunter, which meant I was able to run outside and get a glimpse of VDA 1807 on approach!

The MV-22s used the callsign THUNDER 12 flight and were using 266.700 for air-to-air. Apparently they were arriving for a static display at Wright and departed a few hours later.
