REPOST: Antonov 224 Arrives at Dobbins ARB | Marietta, GA | July 5th, 2001
This is the Antonov 224 that carried a disassembled Orion P-3 back from China when an encounter with a Chinese Mig fighter caused the U.S. Navy P-3 to make an emergency landing on Chinese soil. Dobbins ARB is where Lockheed/Georgia built the P-3 and it was reassembled and flown out some months later.
I took this 35mm film photograph. When I arrived at the perimeter of the Air Reserve Base, I was amazed to see that thousands of people had gathered along the highway. The antonov arrived around 7 a.m. that morning.
I’ve cropped my original photo and used Snapseed’s tools and filters to “improve” this shot. It has a bit more grain now, but the color and details are significantly better.
