Been on those aircraft a good many times and know a few of the crews.
Wonder why they did not send them on the C5A Galaxy?

Volga-Dnepr often carries military equipment. I was told it had something to do with range, I guess the AN-124 has longer range than a C-5.

Posted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 10:17 amGoodly morning all...
I think Cory just answered my question as to why the AN 124 was used and not the C5A Galaxy.
It would seem it is a civilian sale of disposable military equipment and therefore I would imagine a civilian company would have to be used.
It would also seem from internet sources that the AN124 will carry about twenty-five percent more payload one thousand kilometers farther than the C5A also.
