White Christmas13 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I most properly post this in the wrong forum but I guess the mods can move it Iv'e seen big planes but the one landed in Perth today was the highlight after 2 hours delay because of some problems in KL she touched down about midday at Perth airport some 20.000 people came here to watch I live 15 min away from the airport but it took me a few hours there and back. Anybody seen this plane before ? The picture is not mine I got it from the net because I just did not have the room to take a decent picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrilled Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I was stationed at Udorn,udon Thani during the Vietnam war.The biggest at the time was the C5. Took A tour of it.I swear it had an apartment inside. For the pilots,navigator etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farma Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) I watched a C5 doing touch and go's for an hour or so at McClellan AFB many years ago. Just after it flew off a Starlifter landed. It looked like a little Cessna compared to the C5. I walked through the other big russian cargo plane AN-124 at Sydney back in the late 80's. It was huge.

coldmike Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Sorry about the lost post. Really wish I had seen it too, but no. I always thought that the worlds biggest plane was the Hughes Spruce Goose which only flew once for a few minutes. The wingspan was wider, but the length was shorter than the AN 225 Mriya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
