crazy aussies, I love their cavalier attitiude..."He can lift off any time he likes."
cheeky bastahds
I've ridden in one of those.
As a passenger who's never flown an airplane I have no real way to tell if a pilot is "good". But with the Russian's there is another increment of measure: How sober are they.
I frequently flew on AN-12's and MI-8's. Though the Mi-8's were American crews. The greasiest helicopters on Earth.

Airborne All the Way!!!
I wouldn't buy that thing unless you have a death wish. I used to work at GYI for a contract fuel company that was hq'd there and that thing has been sitting there for almost 2 years now. Last thing I heard about it was that the FAA had grounded the aircraft because all of the instruments & the airframe logs are in Cyrillic. The engine logs are no where to be found & the clowns that brought it here haven't done any maintenance on it for the entire time its been sitting there. A pair of Ukrainian pilots flew it here & then shagged ass back home. You could change out the instruments with English one's & have the logs translated, but it would cost you a fortune.
Its actually an IL-78 "Midas" tanker and was brought here by a group of ass hats hoping to get contracts to do aggressor training for the U.S. & NATO countries. They had no business plan & spent a big chunk of their money to buy this thing, then found out they couldn't lease the F-16's that they wanted from the Air Force. They basically sold the county commissioners here a line of bull & now the county has got to find a way to clean up these guy's junk from the airport.
