[post_page_title]Antonov An-12[/post_page_title]
A lot of the Antonov planes have made it onto our list, it seems as these guys really wanted to make something large and powerful. Designed and built in the Soviet Union back in 1957, it’s actually one of the longest running planes to make it onto our list. From the moment it started its operational service in 1959, the aircraft has pretty much become the Soviet Union’s most prominent transport machine. After over 1000 airplanes were built, the production was terminated in 1973. The An-12 has been compared to the Lockheed C-130 Hercules quite a lot, but it does weigh less and is smaller in size.
While production was stopped in 1973 it’s thought that many of the 1,248 of these planes built are still in active service – although mainly for transporting cargo.
