My thanks to the crew for allowing me this rare oppurtunity to snap a photo of a Antonov Flightdeck.

What a machine! You really can't appreciate it enough until you have been on it. The third largest airplane in the world behind the Airbus A380 and the overly massive Antonov-225. It takes a total of six people to fly this machine. A pilot and his/her first officer, two flight engineers, a communications officer, and a navigator.
