I had the privilege of photographing one of the worlds largest heavy lifting aircraft the Antonov 124 a Russian made and operated bohemith and it is huge it took on 26,000 gallons of fuel while here it has a cockpit crew of 6 and a ground crew of 7 all of which are Russian or Ukrainian. All the equipment and gauges are in Russian. Here are some pics of my expierence.

That looks like some sort of pressure vessel they were packing in the plane. We have some of those at work.
