The Antonov An22 is the biggest propeller plane in the world. Although I already filmed it in Oostende in 2017 I decided to drive to Leipzig to film it again. The opportunity to film it taxing above the motorway bridge was the main reason why I drove 450km to Leipzig Airport. The southern runway at LEJ was closed which is normally not the case and that` s why the Antonov 22 had to taxi to runway 09L. To get there the AN22 has to cross the motorway via a bridge which looks quite spectacular in my opinion.


The routing of the An22 was Leipzig Bremen Leipzig Baku. They flew an expensive camping van from Bremen to Baku. Due to the short runway at Bremen, the AN22 had to return to Leipzig for a fuel stop which was just perfect for me cause I was able to film this beautiful jet three times within 10 hours.
