It's overwhelming how large the frikkin thing is and my simple mind just cant fathom how the thing stays up in the air. Those rooskies sure can build big planes.

It is very cool, but what is even more impressive to me is that the A388 is bigger and has a higher Maximum Takeoff Weight than the A124 (the new 747-800 is also above it). Only the Antonov 225 is bigger and has a larger MTOW.
