What do you think of the An-124?

Answer 1

Pretty impressive lifter. Better than the C-5 Galaxy.

Its good enough that the American military charters them to suppliment their airlift capability.

"On May 1987, an An-124 set a world record, covering the distance of 20,151 km (10,881 nmi) without refuelling. The flight took 25 hours and 30 minutes; the takeoff weight was 455,000 kg. The previous record was held by B-52H (18,245 km). " (quote from wikipedia)
