I think the Antonov An-124 is also capable of this feat !
I remember dismantling Harrier GR.3's for the Belize which involved them being transported in a Hercules one at a time with a nice 'jolly' for the support personnel and the ability to bring home duty free - I am sure the Globemaster is more capable than the Hercules - certainly it must be more comfortable !
