Hi everybody,

I just wanted to post an interesting image of the Ruslan landing at the Sarajevo International Airport yesterday. The photo is taken by Fedja Krvavac, local photographer, and it does put things in scale

The Ruslan is carrying the British troops and equipment for the joint EUFOR exercise in BiH. Probably to tame the North Koreans.



All the best,
Entoni

Hi Entoni

Wow! What a monster! Does it sound as big it looks?

All the best

Well, Rowan, I didn't have the chance to hear it. But my wife, who is the chief weather forecaster at the airport, said that "the roar is unbearable", and while it was taking off their offices were shaking from the sound it creates.

Pretty impressive, I would say!

All the best,
Entoni

I saw one on the tarmac in the distance while taxiing once, can't remember if it was YYZ or Heathrow.

I think they left it out far from the terminals so noone would be afraid it would eat the plane they were waiting for.
