An-124 offroad

[jb1moore]

lol I bet that pilot already new that if he got that plane stuck he was headed to Siberia. So it was coming one way or the other.

[pewrick]

With power at midpoint, the clamor of all four engines grew.

Ahead of the aircraft, in the snow, they could see a ground crewman with raised, lighted signal wands. Patroni grinned, "If we come out fast, I hope that guy's a good runner."

Гул двигателей усилился.

Перед самолетом стоял человек, держа высоко над головой светящиеся сигнальные жезлы. Патрони усмехнулся.

— Надеюсь, этот малый хорошо умеет бегать, а то вдруг мы рванём.

This is almost 1,5 times the mass of a B747. Try to even imagine doing something like this with the Jumbo. Incredible.

[darklordchris]

Things you will never see a C-5....except the original test plane.

[Helg2222]

наша техника это вам не боинг какой-то там )

[RN3QTB]

Смотрите и дрожите! MADE IN USSR

[miromax811]

ВОТ ЭТО ПРИКОЛ!

[Shurepa111]

Лихо он вырулил обратно :)

[koflair]

Reminds me of this:

[kniazia54]

А как самолёт туда заехал? Он за полосу выкатился что ли?

[papjack1]

I'd say only RUUUUN FORRRREEEEESSSSST

[3AMOPbIW]

An-124 RA-82078 has made it a habit to roll through the mud at Gander :) Wonder if the video is from the incident on March 31, 2007 (TSB report A07A0029)

[dejmen3]

nie ma to jak ruskie lotniska XD

[zipacna1980]

C'mon, guys. No surprise. That C-5ski is capable to take off or land there.

[otirt]

These machines are designed for this terrain. The runway with concrete is "first class" for An-124.

[MrKnuk]

in sovjet russia...

die russen wieder mal.. :D

[jopetya]

Ime egy újabb ékes bizomyitéka annak hogy az orosz technika mindent kibir.

[crazyfabio1]

one word Russians

[78720]

Largest ATV ever!

[fndjfgsdk]

The latest in the range of ATV's :D

[d2gizzo]

I really wouldn't want to be standing that close to an aircraft that size sliding on soft land. If you look closely you can see a little bit of slip when the plane begins to turn.

[patriot328]

WWJPD?

What Would Joe Patroni Do?

[airplaneguy17]

what cant this plane do?

[Cropduster777]

russians are fuckin crazy

[airplaneguy17]

haha

[patryk7771]

That's unbelievable !!! :D

Stunning !

[jimmydcap]

Big engines get the job done!!!

[69Gabinho69]

EPIC

[xtopgun41x]

In soviet russia, plane land on dirt and taxi on runway.

[beergut111]

wow...only in russia i guess. nice people but they kinda need to "get it 2 geth er"

[Thankots]

And that's why planes do not need a 4x4 car engine.

[keeevan]

the drivetrain is 4x4 the engine has nothing to do with it

[Thankots]

@keeevan I know, I misstyped badly, somehow.

[keeevan]

ah ok :P

[ayrjunior]

Run Forrest RUN!!!!

[020808]

Them crazy Russians lol. You could never get away with that in the States, the FAA would have someone ass on a plate lol.

[jimmydcap]

Ivan says Screw the FAA!!!

[pulsejet1]

@020808 For what? It's not doing anything dangerous and there is a fair share of 'off road' aircraft in the US.

[njgjhrjd]

@020808 fyi, this is happening in Canada. Wheres FAA?

[hotspur666]

That's bullshit! It is only slush over pavement...

slip sliding's easy!

Beside he's empty...try that on dry pavement and it will

have the tires ripped off the rims.

[rockyPants4000]

It's the landing gear that's allowing this.

Many empty large jet transports have more than enough thrust to blast through that amount of ground muck, but ripping off the landing gear is a risk.

This is the same configuration as on many military transports like the C-130, C-5, C-17, etc. And like many Soviet era aircraft, this design is put into civilian use as well.

It's built to do this, so it's not really "amazing" (tanks drive out of the mud too), but fun to watch.

[r32adt3db]

and here i was thinking it was CCCP

[zmike6]

The ground crew look like they are running for their lives! :)

[gigzon]

Yeah.. ))

[redbeast2]

I wonder where that guy ran to

[rmatiyenko]

Engine three... or four if lucky.

[JFMUFC26]

sums up how amazin the AN-124 is

[yonster9]

crazy russians

[JU088]

супер видео...одлично!!!!!

[ThaFunkster100]

Very impressive - I enjoyed that.

[andreychizh]

Однако! :)

[greatgoofy]

No surprise... It's russian ;)

[BatonoGruzin]

No russian, no ukrainian,

THE URSS !!!

[MrSkyGuy]

Personally, that's a heck of a complement. Those Russians are some ingenious people.. making more work with less.  Very impressive bunch.
