Ukrainian Airplane Flying over Memphis

Antonov AN-124 took off from Paine Field in Washington State, and is just east/NE of Memphis at 630 mph, at 32,000ft.
Just kind of odd....can't find a tail number from point of origin airport, or any other info on the aircraft.

Biden gave Ukraine the 4 Memphis cops as they are known killers and Ukraine needs those.

Killed 2 birds with one stone, Biden is growing on me.

Those are cargo aircraft. They end up at MSY a few times a year, usually for hotshot oil field cargo that won’t fit in a normal plane.

I just tried another flight tracker, and it is headed to Palm Beach International.

Not something you see every day. There are only 26 civilian models of them flying in the entire World, so it's pretty rare to actually catch a glimpse of one on a flight tracking software.
Sorry to disappoint, no conspiracy, just not something you see every day.

Saw two of those with two TU 95 Bear Bombers flying into Barksdale, LA in the early 90s

Probably just recruiting a few Memphis police officers.

I have been using Flightradar24 for years, but it looks like FlightAware provides some more info. That's what I switched to a little while ago, thanks for the link !

I was the home plate umpire for a little league game and knew they were coming, but I guess many others didn't. I called time and pointed it out, the other ump freaked the hell out. It was right after the Soviet Union broke up.

It’s Antonov Airlines.
Likely moving airplane parts or machinery for Boeing. I’d bet he lands at Charleston.

Dude…I did as well! I was having baseball practice near Haughton High school, early 90’s when the Bears flew over. Crazy site, especially when you’re used to seeing B-52’s. I believe It was for an exchange program where US/Russians would visit each other’s strategic sites? I can’t remember if it was before the fall of the USSR or not. My best friend’s Dad at the time, was a base commander @ Barksdale & hosted a Russian Colonel & his Wife. He said they brought real Vodka as a gift that made ours taste like water.

Bingo.
I was calling games over at Swan Lake Park, under the glide slope.
