In Russian, what do you call your machines?
Hello all, (apologies for English)
Two days ago where I work (International Airport, Brisbane, Australia) yet another An124 zoomed past my hangar to a destination over the horizon...
Now it occurred to me, how do you speak of these machines?
For example, in English we say "ay-en-one-two-four".
In Russian would you say "AH-Один два четыре"
or, "AH-Сто двадцать четыре"??
Would you be saying "AH" sounding like the "Анна"?
Thanks in advance :)
Cheer's, Ham

OK, here we go "Антонов сто двадцать четыре" or
Ан сто двадцать четыре", but when I worked in Antonov design bureau we called it "изделие четыреста" or "четырехсотка" ;)
P.S. BTW my father was a member of the first test crew who brought her up:) :cool:
Re: In Russian, what do you call your machines?
"ay-en-one-two-four". :) no more spelling :) :D
Anna or Annushka :),means nice looking girl.

This is just what I needed and a little more from borkin :p Very interesting to hear of your and your fathers work RB!
Now to practice!
An124's come quite often to Australia and we have two An12's based here almost permanently.
