Elvis Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 That's one big drill rig if using a MIL 26 is the most economical way of moving it :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet B Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I'm not talking about a little seismic or core sample rig... You know the big a$$ rigs you see all over alberta drilling for oil and gas? Those ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w squared Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 As far as drilling rigs go, I'm sure it will be a little one. Big drilling rigs take two weeks to set up, and consist of over 100 truckloads. Even an MI-26 won't be moving a big triple. I believe that they have at least 2 Russian pilots, and I'd imagine that they'll be the only ones logging any MI-26 time for a while.
