AN-225 Strikes Again


The Worlds Largest Airplane Landing in Oakland California ATC

The downtown area visible in the background is San Francisco and is about ten miles from the Oakland airport. This the second time I've come across the AN-225 this week. The first time was a story about the other AN-225, the one they never finished building. Apparently there is enough demand for carrying big things to keep this one flying. Should business ever pick up, it's nice to have one waiting in the wings, so to speak.

Looking around, you might spy an airplane that looks like the AN-225. If you do, its probably an AN-124, little brother to the AN-225. It is easy to tell them apart. The AN-225 has six engines, the AN-124 only has four.

The Antonov AN-225 Mriya has appeared in this blog here and here.
