Well what are you going to do? All the C-5s & C-17s are spoken for!! And neither of those types have the payload capability that the Antonov AN-124 has.Sirscrapntruckalot, alds and Chubby Fly Thank this.

HA. *Snark mode...
So... 200 Heros cram into a 12 x 12 break room 10 feet from a walmart distribution clerk window waiting on a dock 12 hours. Or surround the same facility with 200 trucks and trailers idling into the night waiting to unload.
Those kinds of heros?
Regarding the Russian Airlift, they are profitable hand over fist because all of our Military Airlift is maxed out. A 747 cargo isnt enough heft. If I was a Mr Big in Cargo I would have designed and built an American version of those Russian Heavy lift.
I DONT MIND the operation itself its the BS labeling of heros. Load truck, slam doors without hitting airplanes and drive a little bit as been done for generations.
I can see future applications to trucking company. Down where you mark a box for being a Vet, you have a new box stating you participated in the great medical hero time. HA.. the nerve.
We will be reopen if not already and this will be all over with and roll on with the next big charter for that kind of airlift with something else in time. Just need to bring your money in electronic form.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
One thing you have to remember is that the Antonov AN-124 was originally designed with military applications in mind (airlifting troops,tanks,APCs,etc.).When the old Soviet Union collapsed,the aircraft found its niche in hauling oversized loads that were too heavy even for a 747.
The plane practically has NO COMPETITION in the market it serves.
