We've all seen photos of this giant but perhaps you have never seen ones taken by such an excellent photographer.

Attached pics are of the Russian behemoth when it came into Medford , OR , to pick up two Sikorsky fire fighting helicopters to take overseas -- $1,000,000 to transport them
While they were loading the helicopters, the Russian pilots (two crews), went into town to buy cigarettes by the case and Levis jeans.

It is amazing something this huge can stay in the air.
