In a selfish, American sense, I feel bad for Lockheed.

In a more humanitarian sense I am happy for the Ruskies as their economy really needs something like this.

"The ÀN-124-100 is currently the world's largest production freighter..."

What about the 6-engine one? I think it's number is the AN-240 or something like that. It is so big it has a bridge crane in to to move cargo.

I have a video of it flying around Anchorage, Alaska a few years ago.
