Meet my little friend Antonov

Okay, so the Russian's have beat out the US and The EU for the biggest cargo jet on the planet.
This thing can fit a 737 IN it.  (Without the wings of course.)



Ocklawaha:  Should we add landing capablity for that thing?  And where?  Southpoint?

[Ocklawaha]

There are 3 variations of this incredible aircraft:

The "Cock" with a take-off weight around 650,000 pounds and needing only 3,800 feet of space.

The "Mriya" with a take-off weight around 850,000 pounds and also needing only a short field.

The "Cossack" with a take-off weight around 1,300,000 pounds, but needs 11,500 feet to get in the air.



Bottom line? We have it covered, the first two could land in darn near any airport on the first coast as long as the weight ratings are good.

The Cossack, could come and go from Cecil Field, anytime and anyday... and still leave room for ZEPPELIN aircraft.

What a great resource Cecil Field is then.  Gosh, what a post cold war bene!
