I was friends with a girl who worked for customs in Canada, and they only allow one Antinov to land in Canada at a time due to "invasion."


Also, from her mouth to my ear, they stink really bad inside cause the crew all live inside of the plane, its like a submarine inside, but it stinks really bad. She acctually left the place she was working cause she does not want to step foot into another Antinov!

we were mulitplaying this plane up the other day, twas fun!

In brief---
Between about 1990 and 2000 I was a ramper at Anchorage International Airport here in my city. I marshalled in many AN-124 and got on board many, many times. Most or all of them were operated out of Stansted base in England. English reps (company representatives) handled customs and other matters as few Russians spoke English. In brief, I went into all parts of the aircraft, spoke with a few of the Russians who could speak a little English. I was inside the crew area in the rear upper deck area so I saw that part as well including the gallery with a sink which is the first thing you see as you reach the top of those rear stairs. There was a bunk room, too.

No AN-124 smelled bad.
:ernae:
 
D/L'd and flew her yesterday. Real nice. Reminds me of the AS C-5A.

Love the wing flex. She handles very well on final.

Looking forward to some awesome repaints for this one.

@airtj--
Thanks for sound info.

@Tim---
I know. I might have been unclear. Perhaps her opinion was quite personal. I offered a different opinion.
 
I'm currently refurbishing the cockpit with gauges from the Alphasim Mi-28 and Tu-22. I might post the results here later, so far it looks promising.

Now thats a idea. Look forward to seeing the results. Im painting this puppy up in a Fictional paint. Need her for delivering supplies to my fictional Cuban USCG experiment base.
 
I've pretty much finished it. The gauges are a little out of place/the wrong size, and the panel isn't 100% accurate, but it is better than having Beechcraft or Mooney gauges.

I've placed the gauges to the best of my ability. I'm pretty sure the gauge behind the yoke is meant to be an AoA indicator. The one underneath the attitude indicator is definitely meant to be a HSI.

The attitude indicator itself is unrealistic, but closer than a Western airplane (I tried getting the attitude indicator from the Project Tupolev Tu-154, but I couldn't download it). The gauges were taken from the Alphasim Mi-28 and Tu-22.
