Antonow

00:00:01

[Music]

00:00:11

the others on 124 is one of the

00:00:13

largest cargo planes ever built,

00:00:18

its capacity is unsurpassed

00:00:20

today it flies a huge

00:00:22

wind turbine to the other end of the world on

00:00:28

the way await the giant transporter

00:00:30

storms over receiver currently offer

00:00:33

strong

00:00:36

thunderstorms typical cross winds and annoying

00:00:38

delays We are supposed to take off in ten minutes.

00:00:41

The barge is holding us. The cargo

00:00:46

must be delivered intact and on time.

00:00:56

Clear the way for the Ukrainian

00:00:58

transport aircraft Antonov 124.

00:01:01

Captain Dimitri Antonov is at the controls,

00:01:04

no relation or marriage.

00:01:06

I love this aircraft. He and his

00:01:10

crew of 18 are in front Started in Kiev three hours

00:01:12

later, they land in

00:01:17

Düsseldorf.

00:01:20

There, customs prepares a convoy of trucks.

00:01:32

The low-loaders are transporting huge

00:01:34

wooden boxes with 86 tons of parts for a

00:01:36

wind turbine.

00:01:41

They are to be stowed in the huge belly of the

00:01:43

others.

00:01:44

Their destination is two days and 12,000

00:01:47

kilometers away in Santiago de Chile

00:02:06

When it comes to bulky goods, the

00:02:08

Antonov is the right place for you.

00:02:13

Even experienced airport employees

00:02:16

are amazed at the sight of it.

00:02:19

The Antonov 124 is the goliath of

00:02:22

freight traffic. Its vertical tail is as

00:02:25

high as a seven-story building.

00:02:26

Its wingspan is as wide as a

00:02:29

block of buildings for longer from Russia

00:02:32

internationally shaded machine on

00:02:34

behalf of Antonow he once

00:02:38

transported the machine which doesn't fit anywhere for us

00:02:40

it is unique

00:02:44

this huge wind turbine was destroyed in the

00:02:47

devastating 2010 earthquake in Chile

00:02:50

it was repaired in Germany

00:02:52

now ten weeks later it is

00:02:55

flown back

00:02:59

ten boxes Of a total of 50 tons and

00:03:02

a large box with the rotor of 36

00:03:05

can, everything in this order is

00:03:07

astronomical, even the freight costs are

00:03:10

1.2 million dollars.

00:03:19

The schedule is tight. Now it's 3 p.m.

00:03:21

strong is at 7 p.m.

00:03:27

via the Congo is flight manager The

00:03:29

28-year-old oversees the entire

00:03:32

logistics.

00:03:35

He discusses with ramp agent Sam Low

00:03:38

the process of loading

00:03:41

the tanks after loading, first

00:03:44

loading after loading, refueling.

00:03:49

The countdown is running. The technical crew

00:03:52

begins the work. The

00:03:54

built-in hanging crane lifts the

00:03:57

heavy loads of one of the boxes It's

00:04:00

around 36 tons,

00:04:01

that's too heavy for our squad,

00:04:03

that's why we use the ramp system.

00:04:11

We have a platform that

00:04:13

moves on these rails

00:04:15

with the help of chains and a wind corner.

00:04:17

The cargo inside

00:04:22

this giant can be moved

00:04:25

from two sides, similar to a ferry Loaded via the

00:04:28

bow and over the heg ramp, 42 cars fit into the

00:04:30

huge two-story cargo hold.

00:04:36

The boy can be

00:04:38

opened and lowered hydraulically for loading.

00:04:44

Loadmaster series on Attingo has a close eye on everything.

00:04:51

He leaves nothing to chance. Everything

00:04:54

has to be fixed in the intended place.

00:04:57

The smallest Shifting can have a devastating

00:05:00

effect if the aircraft's center of gravity

00:05:02

shifts backwards

00:05:04

the aircraft becomes tail-heavy and could

00:05:06

crash if the load is too heavy

00:05:13

or slips then this can lead to a

00:05:15

catastrophe

00:05:18

Hannover

00:05:22

von Otto has a map showing the

00:05:24

exact position of every box in the

00:05:26

hold It is noted that

00:05:31

first the largest box with the

00:05:33

huge rotor is loaded over the bow.

00:05:38

This is millimeter work. The smallest

00:05:41

mistake can seriously damage the tailcoat or aircraft.

00:06:02

The complex loading process takes an

00:06:04

hour. It goes smoothly

00:06:08

while the crew removes the ramp and rails and

00:06:10

checks whether

00:06:19

the remaining ones are anchored Ten boxes are

00:06:21

loaded over the stern.

00:06:27

They were specially made for the Antonov's cargo hold.

00:06:28

After the

00:06:31

cargo is on board, the nose is

00:06:33

raised and the doors are

00:06:38

closed

00:06:41

for the first section of the journey.

00:06:43

The Antonov tank holds 56 tons of kerosene

00:06:49

Flight to Chile

00:06:51

Now Captain Antonow and his

00:06:54

crew are on the train

00:06:56

on the two-day trip, the

00:06:59

others make stopovers in Spain

00:07:01

and Cape Verde, twice in

00:07:05

Brazil in Recife and Rio de Janeiro

00:07:09

then they land in Santiago de Chile.

00:07:15

Every stage and every stopover is

00:07:18

meticulous planned

00:07:19

[Music]

00:07:21

Tight schedules and oversized

00:07:24

loads are part of everyday life for the crew.

00:07:27

Should sports cars be transported

00:07:30

or locomotives, perhaps a yacht

00:07:33

or an airplane in the plane, no

00:07:36

problem for the seven aircraft in the

00:07:38

other fleet.

00:07:39

They transport everything and always on a

00:07:42

tight schedule, even with the expensive one

00:07:45

Maintenance time in the hangar at home in Kiev

00:07:49

Maintenance boss Sergej Tag monitors a

00:07:53

C check This inspection is due after 2000

00:07:56

flight hours and decides on

00:07:58

the further use of the 124 If there is

00:08:06

reason for complaint it could

00:08:08

end up in the aircraft graveyard

00:08:10

The C check is more than a

00:08:12

routine check The inspection takes

00:08:15

three weeks. Everything to do with the

00:08:18

engines, on-board electronics and flight system is checked.

00:08:21

However, a more complex check takes three

00:08:24

months.

00:08:26

Every mistake, no matter how small, could have

00:08:28

catastrophic consequences.

00:08:33

This machine remains in the hangar for another week.

00:08:35

There is a landing gear test and

00:08:38

a stress test of the landing flaps

00:08:41

two engines are being reinstalled after their

00:08:42

overhaul

00:08:50

in Düsseldorf inspects captain Others

00:08:52

on his aircraft at the pre-

00:08:54

00:08:56

locks lamps doors and the

00:08:59

extra large tires the A100 24 is

00:09:03

ready to take off

00:09:06

everything looks great whether there are

00:09:12

stones or something similar on it

00:09:17

captain Antonows 18 The team

00:09:20

consists of experts in engines,

00:09:23

avionics and much more.

00:09:26

There are nine technicians, each with their

00:09:30

own area of expertise.

00:09:36

Spare tires, lubricants,

00:09:38

screws and bolts for quick

00:09:40

repairs are stacked

00:09:44

on the side walls of the cargo hold. I can hardly ask for

00:09:46

re-seals for the Antonov 124 on the tarmac

00:09:48

They would think I was crazy.

00:09:51

We need spare parts

00:09:56

if we have to repair something, but

00:10:02

today one part is missing. A component for

00:10:05

the on-board electronics of the 124.

00:10:09

A supplier from Düsseldorf is already on

00:10:11

the way. 40 minutes before departure,

00:10:16

Captain Anton checks the weight of

00:10:19

the cargo, the tank filling and the

00:10:21

weather conditions

00:10:22

the machine is ready to go well almost

00:10:28

without the cooling component you

00:10:30

won't start

00:10:31

anyone because he's coming soon he took a wrong

00:10:35

turn

00:10:38

you have to stick to your schedule it's getting tight

00:10:43

we could actually start but we're

00:10:45

waiting for a spare part it should

00:10:47

be there soon

00:10:53

Supplier of the cooling component has lost

00:10:55

his way

00:10:58

he finds money 630 not that's the

00:11:01

problem

00:11:03

00:12:30

its impressive size, the machine accelerates rapidly. After

00:12:37

15 seconds it reaches

00:12:41

the so-called decision-making ability at 258 kilometers per hour

00:12:44

A start-up break is now no

Dimitri Antonov is a former military

00:13:26

and test pilot he lives in Kiev the

00:13:29

cockpit is his second home

00:13:32

I have been looking after the machine since 1995 and

00:13:38

have around 13,000 flight hours

00:13:42

despite the many flight hours I am

00:13:45

always impressed in the 124 there is nothing

00:13:49

that we cannot transport on the

00:13:54

124 In the air now the

00:13:57

crew can relax,

00:14:00

although there is no first class on

00:14:03

board. The crew's sleeping and lounge area

00:14:05

is functionally

00:14:07

luxurious.

00:14:13

The Antonov was used by the Soviet government in the 80s

00:14:16

to transport

00:14:18

tanks and weapons for the Red Army

00:14:23

At the end of the cold war

00:14:26

the machines were supposed to be scrapped

00:14:27

but the designers had other things in

00:14:29

mind

00:14:30

[Music]

00:14:34

At the end of the 90s we had the idea

00:14:37

that we could make money with the machine

00:14:40

by using it commercially. They

00:14:46

saved the plane and with it

00:14:48

the company Antonov the Antonov

00:14:53

124 was in the right place at the right

00:14:56

time.

00:14:57

We got into air freight traffic

00:14:59

and made good money with it.

00:15:02

This is how the company was able to

00:15:05

survive.

00:15:11

The conversion from a military transporter

00:15:13

to a cargo plane in charter traffic

00:15:15

required some modernizations,

00:15:17

computer-aided flight control, modern

00:15:20

on-board electronics and new, more reliable

00:15:22

engines, the original ones Another run

00:15:26

had problems with engine failure.

00:15:28

Its service life of 20 years was

00:15:30

doubled by the modernization.

00:15:34

Today the Antonov 124 has officially

00:15:38

confirmed a longer service life.

00:15:41

It is at 50,000 flights,

00:15:44

that is 10,000 flights or around 45 years.

00:15:53

This long service life can only be

00:15:57

guaranteed through thorough maintenance work

00:15:58

2 of the FC Caen Progress engines have

00:16:01

just been completely overhauled. Now they are being

00:16:04

reinstalled.

the refueling.

00:17:57

The second leg is a four-hour

00:18:00

flight from Spain to Cape Verde. The crew

00:18:06

will have a twelve-hour break on the island

00:18:12

The crew has to take regular breaks.

00:18:15

We fly with a double crew. The

cards for The tests continue until

00:20:53

all deficiencies in the air are remedied.

00:20:56

There is no second attempt at

00:21:05

two in the morning. 1000 kilometers off the

00:21:08

African coast,

00:21:09

the Antonow is approaching

00:21:11

Cape Verde.

00:21:15

The runways run from north to

00:21:17

south. Strong westerly winds shake the

00:21:20

machine through Captain Antonow He

00:21:22

really wants to land on the first try.

00:21:24

If he doesn't manage to do that, he would have to

00:21:26

take off and fly a risky loop.

00:21:31

With his years of experience, he keeps

00:21:34

the plane in the wind and gives

00:21:36

enough rudder at the right moment to

00:21:38

align the 124 with the runway.

00:21:41

He manages to land precisely.

00:21:55

They are in the Schedule The twelve-hour

00:21:57

break only begins when Captain

00:21:59

Anton sends his crew off for the evening.

00:22:06

The longer he waits, the later

00:22:08

the plane takes off, which could

00:22:11

mess up the schedule.

00:22:12

Nevertheless, Captain Anton only does [music] on his

00:22:15

inspection tour

00:22:20

when he has convinced himself

00:22:22

that Everything is in order, he sends the

00:22:24

flight crew on break

00:22:28

for the technicians. Now work begins on the

00:22:34

four-hour flight to

00:22:35

Cape Verde. The Antonov used 74 tons of

00:22:38

kerosene. Since the cargo

00:22:42

weighs 86 tons, the machine can only be refueled with

00:22:44

a limited amount of fuel The

00:22:47

aircraft has a maximum

00:22:49

take-off weight, so it depends on the weight of

00:22:54

the cargo how much fuel we

00:22:56

can fill. Unloaded, the 124 can

00:23:05

stay in the air for 14 hours without refueling. With this cargo, technicians only check the chains that hold the cargo for five hours

00:23:07

while the aircraft is being refueled

00:23:12

secure

00:23:17

if only a single part

00:23:19

has slipped the center of gravity of the

00:23:21

124 shifts in the worst case scenario this could

00:23:24

lead to a crash

00:23:27

we check the freight before every

00:23:29

start

00:23:31

also the fastening

maybe manager conoco is planning the

00:23:38

next route from Cape Verde to

Brazil

00:23:44

I have here internet so I do

00:23:48

the paperwork and download the latest

00:23:51

weather data the weather data is

00:23:57

anything but good after takeoff

00:23:59

the 124 will fly into bad weather at

00:24:05

the technicians are also off work

00:24:07

conoco is the last to disembark

00:24:10

me Now I'm going to the hotel. First

00:24:14

I'll check the

00:24:15

technicians to see if everything is okay.

00:24:18

Then I'll go to sleep

00:24:48

The flight route is getting worse. Strong

00:24:50

turbulences are expected

00:24:53

shortly before Recife. Many thunderstorms await us. Thunderstorms

00:24:56

cause

00:24:59

turbulences up to 15 kilometers high.

00:25:02

The Antonow is at an altitude of

00:25:04

ten kilometers.

00:25:05

Captain Antonow doesn't risk

00:25:07

flying through the thunderstorms.

00:25:10

We change the course slightly from the captain

00:25:17

Antonow flies around the storms and risks

00:25:20

a delay. Thanks to a strong

00:25:22

back bandage, he ends up reaching his destination

00:25:24

three minutes earlier than

00:25:27

planned

00:25:29

[Music]

00:25:34

The runway in Recife is

00:25:37

long enough at 3300 meters, but it is wet and

00:25:40

slippery. There is

00:25:43

less water on the runway The

00:25:45

friction and can lead to aquaplaning.

00:25:47

Beginners often brake too hard in such conditions

00:25:49

and cause the machine to

00:25:52

spin,

00:25:59

but Captain Antonov is not a beginner.

00:26:01

He uses the aerodynamic resistance

00:26:04

to slow down the aircraft.

00:26:09

This increases the braking distance by

00:26:10

15, but he has everything under control

00:26:17

With every take-off and every landing,

00:26:20

the 124 state's FLUC plant is stressed.

00:26:28

This is being tested in Kiev at this moment.

00:26:35

Today we are carrying out a stress test of the

00:26:37

landing flaps on a 124.

00:26:44

Enormous forces act on the flaps in the

00:26:47

test laboratory. They are exposed to pressure and

00:26:48

vibrations like they are in When you land,

00:26:50

the stronger

00:26:53

the better. Technician Olga Litvinenko

00:26:57

observes exactly how the flaps

00:26:59

behave.

00:27:01

The graphic on this monitor shows how

00:27:04

strong the vibrations are. There are

00:27:09

vibration ranges and vibration

00:27:10

numbers that must not be exceeded.

00:27:16

The red lines show the maximum

00:27:19

enrichment

00:27:20

they can achieve Under no circumstances should it be touched. The

00:27:25

tail and chassis go through the

00:27:27

same test. If the machine

00:27:29

fails only one test,

00:27:31

it remains on the ground.

00:27:37

The components are already older, but

00:27:40

regular maintenance extends the

00:27:42

service life. The 124 fleet delivers

00:27:50

all over the world and demand is increasing

00:27:57

124 has a good reputation

00:28:03

We are currently seriously discussing

00:28:06

whether we should resume production

00:28:08

then we could

00:28:13

install modern equipment

00:28:14

[Music]

00:28:17

A modernization would

00:28:19

extremely extend the service life of the Antonov.

00:28:27

The good reputation of the Antonov is at stake with every

00:28:30

flight and every inspection

00:28:38

In Recife the giant transporter is

00:28:40

refueled with 38 tons of kerosene. 45 minutes

00:28:44

after landing it is already in

00:28:46

the air again.

00:28:48

The fourth leg from Recife to

00:28:51

Rio de Janeiro takes two hours and

00:28:54

45 minutes.

00:28:55

There the last

00:28:58

leg from Rio to Santiago is thanked again de

00:29:00

Chile lasts four hours and 19 minutes.

00:29:03

This is the most strenuous part of the

00:29:05

two-day trip

00:29:09

since Cape Verde. The crew flies in the

00:29:11

dark and only sees the sun over

00:29:14

the Andes. Back

00:29:18

at the airport in Santiago, the

00:29:21

flight coordinator Arche prepares more for the

00:29:23

arrival of the 124 in front of the plane flies

00:29:27

over the Andes let Tiago

00:29:33

still 20 minutes until landing she is

00:29:36

on time let's go

00:29:40

but there is a new problem fog

00:29:45

the visibility is 1 2 kilometers let's

00:29:50

see what the weather report says

00:29:54

some flights are already being diverted

00:29:56

if the fog gets worse the

00:29:59

airport closes and Chapters Antonov has to

00:30:01

land nail lines in the maintenance hangar in

00:30:06

Kiev Meanwhile everything is going according to plan

00:30:08

Sergej Tag and his team are about to

00:30:14

finish the extensive three decision c check

00:30:15

The four jacket power engines have been

00:30:18

overhauled The last one is currently being assembled

00:30:23

[Music]

00:30:24

We have the engine already inserted into the

00:30:26

suspension device now

00:30:29

it has to be properly fastened

00:30:35

with this huge torque wrench

00:30:37

the bolts are inserted precisely

00:30:40

this is crucial when assembling a new

00:30:42

engine and a wing one

00:30:44

last inspection

00:30:50

in plain text a go is given the

00:30:53

machine can take off again

00:30:59

captain antonow has still no

00:31:01

clarity the blue sky 200 kilometers

00:31:04

from Santiago is deceptive. there is a

00:31:06

thick fog hanging over the airport

00:31:08

with such poor visibility he has to

00:31:11

rely on the instrument landing system

00:31:17

the system sends horizontal and

00:31:20

vertical information

00:31:22

with this data the

00:31:24

transport aircraft is

00:31:26

precisely on one in autopilot mode The same act is carried out.

00:31:31

Captain Antonov only knows whether the calculation is correct

00:31:33

when the 124 breaks through the

00:31:36

fog. If there is no runway in front of him,

00:31:38

he has to

00:31:40

take off within seconds

00:31:43

[Music]

00:31:49

The runway is where it should be

00:32:01

[Applause]

00:32:11

The freight is delivered on time

00:32:19

Last eight kilometers before

00:32:21

landing we were right on the glass.

00:32:25

Welcome to Chile. The paparazzi are

00:32:30

already there.

00:32:33

After 20 hours on board, the crew is looking forward

00:32:35

to the end of the day,

00:32:37

but that only comes when Captain Anton

00:32:40

has finished the interview.

00:32:45

My name is Antonow

00:32:48

like that The plane is finally off

00:32:50

work and the flight crew is

00:32:53

driving to the hotel. The technicians are starting to unload

00:33:00

at the concert. Meliá agrees that

00:33:04

we need a forklift that

00:33:06

can lift four and a half tons.

00:33:14

It's 1 p.m. The unloading takes five

00:33:17

hours. It should be finished before nightfall

00:33:20

actually everything is fine but they

00:33:24

need a visa

00:33:27

the Ukraine need a visa

00:33:31

last time it was different

00:33:34

they probably

00:33:35

changed the regulations

00:33:41

[music]

00:33:46

our regulars here just

00:33:50

good things come together simply greener it was

00:33:53

greener

00:33:54

[music]

00:34:03

if conow cult doesn't solve the problem

00:34:05

The technicians have to stay on the plane overnight. They

00:34:08

can't shower. They can't

00:34:10

eat properly.

00:34:13

Conoco is talking to the authorities.

00:34:16

The official has said that he's

00:34:19

turning a blind eye this time. The crew is allowed to

00:34:22

enter the country without a visa, but only right now

00:34:29

while the technicians register,

00:34:32

the work remains lie

00:34:34

for half an hour for an hour for 90

00:34:37

minutes after two

00:34:42

hours the crew comes back with temporary

00:34:45

visas

00:34:51

[music]

00:34:56

3 p.m. late the

00:34:59

technicians unload the

00:35:01

smaller boxes over the rear ramp in just one hour

00:35:06

the 36 ton wind turbine is

00:35:09

over the nose unloaded

00:35:11

we pull the box out over rails

00:35:14

a crane lifts it onto the truck Conow

00:35:20

estimates that unloading will take two hours

00:35:22

then the customer is happy

00:35:26

ramp and rails are ready now

00:35:31

a low loader rolls and two cranes into

00:35:34

position

00:35:40

unloading is more difficult than that

00:35:42

Invite in Düsseldorf Manager

00:35:44

Pablo Schuler has planned everything exactly

00:35:49

July

00:35:51

Each crane lifts one end of the box

00:35:54

then it is turned 90 degrees and

00:35:57

loaded onto the low loader

00:36:01

The crane drivers have to work synchronously

00:36:04

otherwise the boxes fall

00:36:09

[Music]

00:36:11

It's complicated because they Crane drivers

00:36:14

have to coordinate

00:36:18

the box is pulled out with a bandage

00:36:24

le gallo is here

00:36:27

now the box is still on the ramp

00:36:31

as soon as it is off the ramp

00:36:33

we no longer have any responsibility

00:36:36

the show begins when we lift the freight

00:36:45

but the show does not start with this crane

00:36:47

It's broken, the crane has a hydraulic

00:36:52

problem, it can no longer be controlled.

00:36:55

They can't retract the supports

00:36:57

to drive it away.

00:37:01

Actually, that's not your problem,

00:37:03

but the 124 and its crew are hanging

00:37:06

with them. It's also our problem. The

00:37:10

sick people don't have the freight in front of our

00:37:11

ramp lifting so we're stuck at

00:37:17

4 p.m. the sentence can be there but the

00:37:20

schedule can no longer be kept to

00:37:22

the defective crane is in the way the replacement

00:37:25

came has to approach at a different angle

00:37:27

we park the low loader

00:37:31

and then we turn the box counterclockwise

00:37:41

They only have a few centimeters

00:37:42

of leeway,

00:37:45

we run the risk of touching the nose of the machine,

00:37:49

the ropes are pretty close to it,

00:37:56

the Antonov crew doesn't like that, what are

00:37:59

they planning to do with

00:38:02

the box between the cores?

00:38:05

They are too close to the nose, so

00:38:08

the loadmaster's house with them If the

00:38:12

crane operator makes a mistake or a gust of wind could

00:38:15

damage the nose of the aircraft,

00:38:16

this would often put the others out of action for weeks.

00:38:24

The barge has to be closer to the one far above it

00:38:27

otherwise it won't work. The small ones would have to be

00:38:31

a little further away from the aircraft

00:38:38

if the 124 were damaged

00:38:41

Catastrophic end to an

00:38:43

otherwise perfect mission. The repairs

00:38:46

would take several weeks.

00:38:47

That would be a bitter blow for the

00:38:49

company because the fleet only consists

00:38:51

of seven machines.

00:38:54

Yushchenko himself is skeptical, but

00:38:56

he still lets the crane operators do what they want.

00:38:58

Maybe it will work. We'll see.

00:39:06

Carrefour has everything in sight If there are

00:39:08

any problems, he will intervene immediately.

00:39:10

I am afraid for the aircraft. It must

00:39:14

not be damaged.

00:39:45

The crane operators are professionals.

00:39:49

Everything is running smoothly. It is finished and in

00:39:54

daylight.

00:39:57

Now our flight is over. The contract

00:40:01

is fulfilled. Everything is fine.

00:40:05

The two-day, 12,000 kilometer

00:40:08

journey was up to last detail planned

00:40:11

in the end the cow is richer by an experience

00:40:15

you can plan everything

00:40:17

but something always goes wrong a

00:40:21

broken boat is force majeure

00:40:22

and then you have to solve the problem a

00:40:30

few hours later

00:40:32

captain others prepare themselves and his crew in the

00:40:34

hotel Santiago on the next

00:40:36

order

00:40:37

in ten hours the 124 has to load aircraft parts in

00:40:40

Albuquerque in the US state of New Mexico

00:40:44

and then deliver new ones

00:40:47

then it goes on to China Japan and

00:40:50

Pakistan

00:40:52

[Music]

00:40:58

[Music]

00:41:13

If you add up the Antonov's flight hours

00:41:15

then it is They have already

00:41:17

flown around the world about 900 times.

00:41:25

Every order means new

00:41:27

challenges.

00:41:28

No other aircraft gets around as much.

00:41:34

I have been to many countries on

00:41:37

all continents.

00:41:43

If someone asks where I

00:41:45

have been with this aircraft, I

00:41:48

prefer to list where I haven't been yet

00:41:53

When you see a huge transport in the

00:41:55

sky you think

00:41:57

it could be Captain Antonov and his

00:41:59

crew delivering an oversized

00:42:02

cargo with the Antonov 124,

00:42:04

the queen of transport aircraft
