That is an impressive aircraft.
We see an AN124 here a few times a week.
To be fair, there’s only one
Mriya ever built; the second example wasn’t finished and now donates spares to the flyer. The crew live a life of vagabonds, flying wherever in the world the next big cargo is to be found. Before Sunday, the last time I saw her she flew into the UK to pick up rescue gear for the
Kursk submarine disaster and her approach took her over where I was working. I must have gone outside to see what the noise was and just stood there as she overflew less than a thousand feet up, so close I could only see five engines and so big she looked too slow to stay airborne. Think I picked my jaw up a couple of minutes later.
We see An124s fairly often too.
