Amodel Antonov An-22

I've flown on this aircraft a few times and I think it is fair to say it is
one of the most uncomfortable and noisiest aircraft I have ever flown on. My
last flight on an AN22 was in 1996 and I swore never to get on it again.
Nice model, horrible aircraft in reality.

Makes all of my models look so laughable - now I feel inadequate!!

Other than open cockpit oil blowers *IS* anything worse than a C-130?

An-12 sets the discomfort standard in my experience.

It's the only aircraft I've ever seen with bilge in the bottom like a ship.

Something like the situation with the Lancaster then. People
praise it and get all mushy and romantic about it when in reality
it's an awful aircraft, Dangerous as hell too. Killed a lot of
friends and acquaintances of mine.

The loudest APU I have ever heard, to the point it is very very painful.
Very little sound proofing, multiple oil leaks, a collapsed undercarraige
and 12 hours sitting in a seat that had a sharp metal edge at a height that
was just in the middle of my back. Trust me a C130 has nothing on this and
thats without talking about the toilet. The crew welded the collapsed leg in
the down position and flew it from Sudan to Kiev like that. I on the other
hand flew KLM back to Europe.

The only cool thing about this aircraft is the bubble window on to of the
fuselage. You can stick your head in the bubble and get a great view.
