Edited on Sun Apr-05-09 04:20 AM by rcrush

The first flying hotel, Hotelicopter, is now ready, SBCC Company announced. The hotel was built on the base of the Mi-12 chopper, which is the largest helicopter in the world. The construction took five years.

4. No, believe it or not, the Mi-12 giant chopper is quite real - gotta love the curtains in the front
cabin windows.

6. Big enough to be turned into one, I guess they have no better use for the things
in the post-Soviet Union than catering to the western tourist trade. And, yes, it does fly and lifts heavy stuff. Not sure I'd want to be inside that thing when it does.

Go to GOOGLE images: "Mi-12"
