    thankful to Sir Richard Branson for taking the lead in restoring the AN225 Mirya, senselessly destryoyed early in the Ukr/Rus war. I was able to see AN124 several times as it delivered 777 Engines to Boeing Everett since its cargo hold is immense. 777 Engines are very large.

      They have carried all kinds of cargo to Boeing they can unload from both ends they have a ramp in front and a overhead crane in the back, I've unloaded many of them and pushed them back for takeoffs.

I've been lucky to see many cool things as a crane operator. I saw NASA assembling the first (or second, I don't remember?) Mars Rover at JPL. l worked on Movie's, picked up a Hippo at LA Zoo, been on and around cargo and cruise ships at the harbor. Seeing the Space Shuttle Discovery up close was cool too! A few of my old coworkers were involved in lifting Shuttle Discovery and setting it vertical back in January of this year.

      Probably MVac engine nozzle extensions for SpaceX. They’re based in LA (technically Hawthorne) and they chartered an An-124 to ferry the nozzle extensions to Cape Canaveral - after departing it flew straight to the shuttle landing facility.
      I guess it could also be a satellite of some kind, but I’m unaware of any satellite on manifest that would require being flown from LA
