Yes weird looking plane..wonder if they made a big batch of them or just a few or even if this one was a prototype?..guess it was to complenment their submarine fleet and that missile capability..very much a Cold War feel about it in a way..those were the times we lived in I guess.

 

Hi Chainsaw! Perhaps it could be converted into a ride on mower?LOL..would have to do straight strips on the road verge though..cant imagine trying to turn it round the fruit trees!

 

Do you have any more pics Jack..that was a good one..have never seen that plane before.

We have the dvd in my store (video store) for rent. Just watching it now :P

 

There was only one ever built and is currently sitting in dry dock somewhere in Russia.

 

It holds the world record for the most lift of any aircraft at over 1000 tonnes.

 

It can travel at over 300mph

 

Can carry over 1000 soviet marines

 

And is larger than a 747.

Thats some plane..thanks richmondtroy and Glenn...

 

Brings to mind the various controversial decisons re planes in Britain and Australia in the 1960's and the Supehornets etc now..different Governments and different views on planes.......
