Was messing around on my phone at work and saw this video:

But while looking from my computer I saw this from the news, looks like it is related:

Aide from that, this is very impressive for a plane this size

Wasn't the AN124 designed to land on unsurfaced runways? So it could go anywhere?

Neat video though, driving it out of the mud.

Good thing there was probably frost in the ground. I have personally seen a -124 leave ruts in 12 inches of asphalt, I can't imagine taking one in the dirt. On the plus side, with 24 tires it has pretty good weight distribution.
