Largest Turboprop in the world Antonov AN 22 Manchester

oritteropo says...

There was an interesting comment on this vid by Valentyn Mykolajovych, from Antonov,

Этот борт 13.01.1989 года во время взлета в Адене (Йемен) из-за преждевременной уборки шасси потерпел аварию. В течение 8 месяцев восстанавливали на месте и 12.12.1989 года своим ходом перегнан на капитальный ремонт в Киев. С тех он у нас, в КБ "Антонов".
Практически все транспортники имеют свои аналоги (Ан-12 и С-130, Ан-124 и С-5), а для Ан-22 и Ан-225 аналогов нет.
Спасибо за видео, TopFelya!


which as far as I can work out (without speaking Russian) means something like:
This aircraft crashed during takeoff on 13.01.1989 in Aden (Yemen) due to premature retraction of the landing gear. Within 8 months it was repaired on the spot and on 12/12/1989, under its own power, was returned to Kiev for major repairs. Since then, it is with us, at the Antonov Design Bureau.
Almost all cargo planes have their western analogues (An-12 and C-130, An-124 and C-5), but there are no analogues for the An-22 or An-225.
Thanks for the video, TopFelya!

Cargo Plane Falls Out Of The Sky

CelebrateApathy says...

Obviously, there is sound with the video. How did the driver of that car avoid a "HOLY FUCK!" moment as this was happening? That guy must have really seen some shit over there if a cargo plane exploding in front of him barely elicits any emotion.

Jeremy Scahill on the CIA's secret sites in Somalia

bcglorf says...

Good, I hope the CIA is abducting, killing and otherwise terrorizing Al-Shabab's members. I hope every nation in the world is contributing to such a mission.

The entire problem of starvation and suffering in Somalia is because of monsters like Al-Shabab. There is no problem loading cargo planes with enough food aid to feed Somalia's people. There is no problem with enough land in Somalia to grow food for them. The problem is Al-Shabab murders the farmers because no-one can protect them. The problem is Al-Shabab steals the food aid or murders the aid workers because there aren't enough people to protect them.

The sooner Al-Shabab is gone the sooner Somalia's poor and starving people have a chance at something better than slowly starving to death in refugee camps on Somalia's borders.

The Antonov An-225 "Mriya" - (World's Largest Cargo Plane)

radx says...

As far as I know, a primarily white A380 takes about 650kg of paint, so my guess would be ~700-750kg for this one. The second An-225, the one they never finished, could certainly use some paint, judging by these three pictures.>> ^BoneRemake:

Speaking of paint, I wonder how many pounds of paint go onto a plane that size.

The Manly way to Throw-up

bareboards2 says...

This reminds me of my brother, an Air Force pilot who had to train on little fighter jets before he could get to the cargo plane he wanted to fly.

Every time you upchuck into the white bag, you have to take into the commander's office and put it on their desk. Do it three times, you're out.

My brother had trouble not upchucking. His solution -- upchuck and SWALLOW IT. No barf bag problem.

I know that there are men who go to war and do heroic things. I think this ranks right up there as a heroic act.
