I saw a pic of that on the network over there in 2002. They had like a 26' U-Haul at the back door. It made the thing look like the truck was built by Mattel!!! Freakin' HUGE! You might be a "Bulldog" if: You bend over and grab your ankles when you hear: "EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE!"

Mi-26 Halo's are unbelievably big. I remember watching one do some crane work in Vladivostok in 1995. I watched it hover over an eight story building that was about 2.5 times as wide as it was tall. As it descended, I thought to myself,"Cool, now it will pass in front of the building on it's way down, and I can get a good estimate of its length." It then passed BEHIND the building. It was so big, I couldn't judge how far away the helicopter really was. Admit nothing... Deny everything... Make counter-accusations.

Aren't the Ruskies fun? They may not have the most advanced equipment in the world, but it can go to hell and back, and still run. Ignorance may be bliss, but it sure ain't fun!

I wonder if the photographer of those pictures realized that in the third on down it is of a bunch of soldiers peeing. They say that the only two things certain in life are death and taxes. I prefer them in that order.
