Very interesting...thanks!
Would be nice to hear more of your anecdotes/experiences with the an124s and IL76s,from a controllers perspective you guys must have seen and heard some funny or downright scary things-i did a preflight a few wks ago,and an Angolan il76 was next to us on stand-bald tires were the most striking thing i noticed...right down to the steel belting!
Dont inspire much confidence!
