Molodyets!

Big respect for finishing that monster, Ken. Mine is still in the
unbuilt pile; I keep approaching it with trembling hands then my nerve
fails and I pull another 1/48 Hasgawa or Tamiya out the pile!

That is the single most impressive aircraft I have ever seen. Entire USN
flightcrew: "Holy S___! Look at the SIZE of that!"

Have you seen one, Gord? That was a _giant_. Our fighters escorted it near the
coast of Arabia and our a/c looked like hummingbirds chasing a dragon. The
crew drove it around the sky in big sweeping turns to check out our ship, then
continued on its way (most likely from India to Ethiopia or somewhere close).
Mid 1980, sometime.

No, haven't, and that was well after my ASW years too (69 to late
70's)

Even more impressive are the STOL capabilities of the An-22. One
landed on a rather short runway close to where I live when it was
delivered to an aviation museum. The deep rumble of the
counter-rotating engines is fascinating.

It needed less than half of the 3.000 ft runway to come to a stop.
Requred landing run about 1.200 ft. Impressive.

Ken,
Great Job.... No Kidding. I salute you...

Nicely done, Ken.
