Hi Dennis,
Wonderful shots and proof that you are as skilled at photographing these metal
birds as you are at the feathered variety.
Years ago they had an Antonov at the RAAF air show at Richmond in Sydney's west.
Next to it was a USAF C-5A Galaxy.
The Antonov wingspan, 73m. The C-5A a respectable 68m.
Antonov length, 69m. C-5A length 75m.
But of course there was this amazingly long queue of people to get inside
the Antonov whereas the C-5A had no queue. You could just wander in at any
time into the C-5A and chat one-on-one with the crew. Of course everyone
wanted to go on the "biggest" and of course there was this whole mystique
of it being Russian - a bit like finally getting to see inside a Klingon spaceship after years
of tension between them and the Federation
