The Antonov AN-225 passing a few meters (at least I think it was a few. The thing is so huge it's hard to tell) above my head when landing at GRU to deliver cargo to the state owned oil company Petrobras.
That plane is a tribute to both human ingenuity and Soviet brute-force approach to engineering.
Being under the shadow of that sky monster, with six gigantic turbofans howling at you it's a truly humbling experience.
