Many years ago, while stationed at NAS Dallas, I got to see the inside of one of those. It is massive! There is fixed seating in the upper section of the tail for something like 75 people. The droop on the wings is also something to see. As it takes off, you can watch the wing tips rise, then lift the plane into the air.

Very much so. Seeing it on the runway, you ask yourself how on earth can that plane fly, let alone carry cargo.

You know it's big but when you see it up close and personal you realize it's not just big, it's huge.

It's cavernous, my friend; the pilots use a ladder to get to the cockpit.

WOW Rob, that is one big hunk of metal, great shot.
It is, Earnest; you look at it and wonder how it gets into the air, let alone carry cargo.
