Didn't US Navy replace the E3's with under powered 737's? My brother has several thousand hours logged in these birds or prey!

Is anyone else tried of looking at the AN-225 pic's. It collected 25% of the front page pic's with same photographer submitting 4 of them! I get it that it is a huge bird but to me, it looks like a pregnant C-5! Just saying....

Yes Sir...got a few hours in one of these "NO SPIN" sweeties! My dad left the lock on the sliding canopy once and wanted to open it so I could reach out and retrieve it! Well, being young and stupid I was to afraid to open it for I thought I would fall out. Wow, how time flies by. That must have been some45-50 years ago!
