serverandenforcer 33 Posted September 2, 2009 I never realized how big an Antonov 225 was until I saw one parked on my flightline today. Its about the size of a C-5, maybe bigger, and it can fly, right Dave? :) If I can get some pictures of it, I'll post 'em here, but my. Base is kind of funny about those kind of things.

+daddyairplanes 10,252 Posted September 2, 2009 they are a little bigger than a C-5 typical russian mentality see em now and again here at the airfield along with IL-76s that NATO charters. and they make the same sick whale whine when they take off as a Galaxy. now if i could just get on one outbound......

JediMaster 451 Posted September 2, 2009 You mean you saw the An-225. There's only one, it's the Highlander of cargo planes. The 124 is slightly bigger than a C-5, the 225 is quite a bit bigger than the 124 as far as wingspan and MTO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just did a search on it and compared it to the pictures that I saw online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted September 2, 2009 Easy spotting guide: 124 - 4 engines, single fin for tail 225 - 6 engines, twin tail ala B-24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hokum 0 Posted September 3, 2009 I've seen the AN-225 fly over my house about two years back when it was landing at Manchester Airport. Its bloody massive! It makes a 747 look like a Gulf Stream! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
