Must be hard to land, so high off the ground!

Not a great deal of difference to a 747-400F really in terms of dimensions (except the wingspan being 10m longer). Payload wise it is much better at 33% more. A poor range though and quite slow. However at US$80 million compared to US$238 million purchase price you do get quite a bit of machine. Just stick some decent engines on it to improve the range and you have a hell of a beast.

Recall the 1990 Farnbourgh Airshow, the AN124 blows an engine, we get a better display with its little brother the AN22 ripping in with a spear engine .. now that was COOL

That's where I met both the AN-124 and 225
