Taylor Swift's concert = onslaught of freighters

Last night Taylor Swift performed her last Australian concert here in Brisbane and while the fans were getting excited to see her, there were other fans like myself exited to see her flotilla of aircraft here to move her equipment. Today Brisbane had an extremely rare event in the way of two Antonov 124-100 aircraft on the ground at the same time. We also had a Singapore B747-400 freighter and a DHL B767, not to mention her very own chartered Dassault Falcon 7X. The freighters were here to transport her equipment to Auckland in time for her next concert.  I left home at 4am and got to the airport at 4.40. The first one of two Antonov's (UR-82072) came in at 11.30 last night and the other one was coming in at 5.30am along with the Singapore freight and the DHL.

Taylor's private charter was also on the bay but it was moved not long after taking this photo in preparation for her arrival.

When the second Antonov arrived it was parked next to the first one, which looked seriously amazing. It wasn't long before the first left for Auckland.
























I also took photos of the other morning international arrivals.
