I did a pilot report on it for Rotor and Wing a long time ago, and the editor left off the most important part of the article -
"This is a machine for moving mountains"
Amazing machine.

Hi Wizard
That "thing" is the size of a 737. Nope I don't know anyone that is operating the machine, but I would like just to see it

I saw this beasty on the discovery channel and it has to be the most awsome rotorcraft on earth (or close to it at hover).
I would travel a great distance to see this machine in action and get a close up look at one. I heard there was one or two working in PNG and was wondering if anyone could confirm it as I am heading up there in the not so distant future.

I met a gold mine exec. type guy last week down from PNG.
He wants to know more about the Mi-26, whether there is one working/ available in PNG
Anybody know or has anyone seen one in PNG lately?
(if so how do i contact them pls)

Ostemanlink helicopter AB in Sweden has one or at least have some russian sub-contractor who operates one.
just to visualize the size of this beast, it's rotor diameter is about the same as B-737 wingspan, 8 meters high= higher than two storey house and cargo hold equivalent C-130 and pressurised cockpit.......
but this one is even bigger MI-12 had a 40tonne payload

Does anyone know where you can find some footage of this beast. I would love to see it flying. I found one site on google but I think it was some dodgy russian format so could not view it.
I did find a audio clip of it. It did have alot of static but wow what a noise. Am trying to find it again if I do I will post it.
