Dragging out the wheel chocks!!

A little drink and a nice rub down!!

LOL- they could use some wheels on those wheel chocks!!!  :D

Excellent essay on a magnificent brute of a plane...  :o

BTW, vodka is always drunk before takeoff on Russian flights...it's on the checklist.

All those close-ups make you realize how ugly the Ruslan actually is...just look at the cockpit section or the front cargo door.

And huge? No way...

I like the shot with the 182 behind it.  Kinda puts everything into perspective.

lol the under carriage is bigger than the cessna

vodka is on the pre flight check list twice... first and twice.
and on the post flight its not a shot, its a bottle with a straw

Thank you, Gentlemen!!

 My brother's Ex-brother-in-law works for Fed-Ex at MDT and the AN-124 would go into there.  They took him on a tour through the AN-124 one time and when he was on the flightdeck he was amazed to see the flight crew drinking Vodka a half hour before they're departure time!!

Yeah. when I saw the Cessna taxiing out I was hoping he would go past so I could get them in the same shot.  Even the Dash 8 looks puny!!

Wait, there was a -124 at PHL? When was this?

Normally, I would have noticed something that large come in.

EDIT- Checked part 1... No wonder I missed it, I was asleep at 8:45 on Sunday. I think I woke up at noon.
