Can you imagine the cost to operate that thing. That's probably ther are only a couple in the world. Very impressive though. Russia also make a helicopter that is the largest in the world. Looks like an airliner body with 2 large outrigger rotors. Seems like its rotor span is over 200'. |

Spruce Goose only flew a few hundred yards ,barely off the water. I think it might be an experimental aircraft. It was a miracle it did that much, and it was empty of cargo. This baby flies globally hauling unbelievable payloads. Spruce goose was 219 ft long. The russian aircraft is 275 feet long. This message has been edited by Gort on 05-16-2014 at 05:02 PM |

Thanks for stirring up memories. My wife and I visited Evergreen Museum and the interior of the Spruce Goose. There are many other interesting pre and World War II planes there. It is well worth the trip for that experience. |

I'm sorry but the Russian plane only has six engines.  It should have had eight engines like the American built plane. I mean after all, eight is always better than six isn't it. |

As for that Russian plane, my thinking on this is they need huge transport options cause the roads around Russia still suck once your out of a city. |

I saw some at the military academy in St. Petersburg. Russia is a hard working country full of people just like us,just trying to do what they can to succeed in life. We met a bunch of nice people. |
