How many Blackhawks will fit in AN-124?
Posted by Screaminhelo on Saturday, January 28, 2006 9:19 PM

The loadmaster said six but we only put in three plus 1 HEMTT, 1 HMMV+trailer and 4 ISU 90's.  It looks pretty small inside until two A/C are in there side by side.  There are some interesting dio possibilities there (RM AN-124 and Dragon Hawks)

Mac,

I agree - that would be nice and huge dio))))))  Unfortunatly not my scale )))))))

Once I had an idea of scratchbuilding the tail (just the very end of it with wings and stabilizer) of B-52 for "a little" Vietnam dio in 1/35 scale))))))  What was I thinking about? ))) Then I look at the scheme (blueprints) of this  monster and made approximate calculations - it was WAY OUT of planned dio size range)))) Of course 1/144 is much smaller but AN-124 Ruslan is still a huge plane!  

 

BTW

where did you load AN-124 with Black Hawks? What country was it belong to?

Andy-
The 124 belongs to Volga-Dnepr Airlines from Russia.  We did the load out in the states.  Why not a C-5?  That is paygrades above me.

Did this happen at Dobbins?

The An-124 is a big boy; I saw one at Orlando Intl four years ago

There are around 50 of them right now

There was only one AN-225 built - the world's largest aircraft

We haven't done anything like that in at least a month!

Trigger-
It was at Dobbins.  Funny thing about it was the C-5 crew that watched and laughed at us when their ride home landed!
