Ok folks, Here is a Russian Cargo Plane that stopped over here at Hickam AFB, Hawaii. This one has been coming in more lately but I just dont understand why?? The base paper did an article on it saying that WE the USA have contracted it out to transport items. My quiestion is why when the US has its own fleet and other airlines that are just barely keeping their heads above water. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Another pic with the nose open and front end kneeling (down) so vehicles can be loaded. By the way the US's C-5 Galaxy is similar in size (1 foot shorter) but this one cant be re-fueled in the air like ours :P

The one thing that the Russian one can not do. KC 135 with re-fueling boom extending to hook up with the Fill pod on the C5
Sorry just got to thinking AMERICAN made thoughts today when I saw the Russian one on the ramp today.

Nice pics Jeff. I am right below the landing approach at MSP International and from time to time a military C5 Galaxy lands here. Quite a site to see that come overhead.
