Seems two of the four CN-235 in the hangar does not have props on it...on temporary storage/grounded perhaps. Thanks for sharing, LeeTZ :drinks:

Is there any particular technical reason for the "bulge" surrounding the nose wheel of 9M-MUC?

Yes, it enables the nose gear to be raised - the aircraft will be level on the ground, facilitating easy cargo loading and unloading.

Ok thanks. Would love to see how that takes place.

The bulge is just to level the A330, so there's no moving components in there. It won't be able to raise or lower itself ala AN-124 or C-5 Galaxy

So I reckon the new bus terminal will be an excellent place to do some plane spotting?
