So Boeing is going to build a Soviet plane which is a clone of a Boeing cargo plane entry from the 70's? I present to you, the Boeing YC-14 on display at the Pima AZ Air Museum

With the engines up that high and forward it looks like it'd be very good at avoiding ingesting FOD when landing or taking off from unimproved landing strips.

Sure is fugly though!

I'd like to see Americans top the AN-225.

Where are the usual jingoistic cheerleaders from the refueling threads who whine that the USAF can't buy aerial tankers from Airbus which would be made in the US? They are strangely silent when Boeing talks about marketing Ukrainian aircraft.

Oh great. Now we're going to copy the Russians in the field of avaition?

I'm surprised that plane can get off the ground.
