Indian Helicopters Arrive By An124

Operating this morning from Berlin (SXF) to Farnborough is one of Volga Dnepr's An124-100s registration RA-82078. The flight is carrying support equipment for the Indian helicopter display planned for the Farnborough Air Show starting shortly.

This is the second of a three legged journey for the Indian display team with 2 x An124s being required to carry the helicopters and all the support equipment from Bangalore into Berlin for the ILA show. This second, shorter, leg to Farnborough the helicopters will accomplish under their own power.
