Russian Aircraft Engines: Sense of Scale

I'm including this picture to give you a sense of how many engines were delivered.  If you can imagine, the pile is about 30 feet deep to my left and extends about 100 feet past me!  These engines were delivered to the airport because the US government was paying $30,000 a month to store them.  We asked the Afghans to turn them in for scrap metal since the engines are useless but they refused.  So, at least we found a place to store them for free.  This is probably one of the only pictures you'll ever see of me too, so enjoy :)
