Got asked earlier this week by Volga-Dnepr to come on site and document a pretty big lift going into one of their Antonov 124s. We were loading a Scrubber aht weighed 225,000 lbs including the cradle to ship it. The crew departed the following day in route to Iraq. I got to meet some amazing people and basically have my way with this amazing plane. It supports a crew for 2 months on and 2 months off at a time, with sleeping quarters, kitchen areas and more.
