Remember having a look around one while it was at Brize Norton a few years back while I was still serving. Got to pop my head out the cockpit hatch on top, bloody long way down, and the tail still towers above you.

Jan 30, 2010 10:44 | #15 Great shots! I used to see these fly in ahead of GW when he'd visit his crawford ranch. Still see them from time to time. They make a very unique sound. The AN225 is the only thing larger than the C-5; however, i'm not sure how the A380 sizes up to this monster.
