MONSTER IN BANGOR

Last winter I was commuting up to Newark when the plane I was riding in had to divert to Bangor, Maine. Talk about cold.............it was FREEZING. After we parked on the ramp, a Russian Antonov came and parked next to us. They fueled it and I took this shot of it departing for an unknown destination. This guy has 24 tires and is HUGE. Pretty neat, eh? Funny thing is though, is that it very closely resembles the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, so we always call it the C-5ski. ;-)
