IN recent news the AN 225 has flown to stuttgart to pick up supplies which will be flown to oman for the WAR ON TERRORISM this bird is huge and will carry 181 palletts of cargo or nearly 200 tonnes.
And this was just screened on DW TV about 10 minutes ago.So i guess she is the biggest plane flying.

What would I give for a glimpse of the AN225! Especially if I had my camcorder handy.

RE: AN 225 FLYING AGAIN
Well i would have thought that the an124 would be good enough to do the job but looks like thats not the case so whip out the 225 that should get it done.I dont think we will see it to often but and the only time i have seen it flying was at paris airshow this year.If it gets a regular gig well and good but i doubt it,I am flying back to Dubai tonight so i may pop over to Muscat to check this thing out again.

Great to hear the news!! I’m a bit of an An-225 fan!! Would you say there is a market for such an aircraft? As the next step up from the An-124? I’d like to see it happen, but, personally I think the An-124 is going to be the biggest aircraft anyone will ever need.
