That's exactly what I was thinking.

Presumably Moses did it in the ADB Antonov An-225 Mriya UR-82060.

There was an interesting comment on this vid by Valentyn Mykolajovych, from Antonov,

Этот борт 13.01.1989 года во время взлета в Адене (Йемен) из-за преждевременной уборки шасси потерпел аварию. В течение 8 месяцев восстанавливали на месте и 12.12.1989 года своим ходом перегнан на капитальный ремонт в Киев. С тех он у нас, в КБ "Антонов".
Практически все транспортники имеют свои аналоги (Ан-12 и С-130, Ан-124 и С-5), а для Ан-22 и Ан-225 аналогов нет.
Спасибо за видео, TopFelya!

This aircraft crashed during takeoff on 13.01.1989 in Aden (Yemen) due to premature retraction of the landing gear. Within 8 months it was repaired on the spot and on 12/12/1989, under its own power, was returned to Kiev for major repairs. Since then, it is with us, at the Antonov Design Bureau.
Almost all cargo planes have their western analogues (An-12 and C-130, An-124 and C-5), but there are no analogues for the An-22 or An-225.
Thanks for the video, TopFelya!

The Antonov 225 is pretty improbable too, but it already exists

As far as I know, a primarily white A380 takes about 650kg of paint, so my guess would be ~700-750kg for this one. The second An-225, the one they never finished, could certainly use some paint, judging by these three pictures.>> ^BoneRemake:

Speaking of paint, I wonder how many pounds of paint go onto a plane that size.

She's built like a steak-house, but she handles like a bistro.


She's out of control! You win again, gravity!

Am I the only person who was both shocked and impressed by how many wheels that thing has in its landing geer? It's not a surprise, just a shock.

>> ^spawnflagger:
GOD DAMN!!!
that's a big plane.
I couldn't even count how many wheels it had.
I wonder how much it would cost in fuel to transport a 150 ton payload?


No, I guess I'm not the only one.

Will mintbbb or anyone else for that matter spaz out if we put this in the Wheels channel?

come on haters, it's a plane that can carry a train ffs, that's literally awesome.

Moreover, it's a plane that can carry a train that can carry an automobile.

Movie reference achieved.

i think someone hijacked mink's account...

SIX engines? Holy shit. Does any other aircraft, military or civilian, have six engines? I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

Sarcasm Fail?
B-52, B-36, Corvair XC-99, The Spruce Goose, B-47 - there are truckloads of 6 and 8 engine military and civilian planes out there. This has massive lift capacity but by no means thrust dominance.

Guess that's what I get for joining the Navy.

Why is this in the Top 15? Wake me when you have a video of the Hughes H-4 Hercules landing at a port.

Because what you don't know that the rest of us do, is that the plane is full of kittens.
