One reported told me details of the contract - the contract assumes that two An-124-100, which are stationed in Germany, would be operated by 5 civil crews hired from NATO membered countries.... who would personaly pass approval of NATO officials. The delivery assimes six to eight month

NATO plans constant and active use of An-124 from Europe to Bagram base in Afghanistan, which has first class air strip capable of accepting these giants. The payment would be done per each flight and hours as if these aircrafts were simply freighted + some amount for them being idle in Germany. All operations must be done by personnel which passes NATO approval and by citizens of NATO member countries...... must be very expensive to hire them!!!
