Saw this big bird at the Farnborough air show many years ago, she’s a beast but really graceful in flight.
Wonder what she was doing here.
The last. I heard she was ferrying medical supplies.

You can hire to move anything that will fit. It is just one huge expensive flying courier.

Best thing made in Ukraine!

I know they are highly polluting and non PC these days but watching a huge aircraft land or takeoff is awesome!

The Speyer museum Germany has one on display
Standing in the cargo hold is impressive
Flight deck very basic though

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_large_aircraft makes interesting reading if you like plane stats (and played Top Trumps as a kid ). The Antonov AN225 really is massive.

When I saw it low overhead the other year it was the noise that made me look sounded different to most airliners.

Yea .. Just like a Hercules or a Chinook helicopter... you just know what they are by the sound they make.
PS By the way I am no way a plane anorak but I just luv those aircraft and love the sound they make..
