I guess everyone here got the news about the destruction of the An - 225 at Hostomel airport on Feb 27th 2022. I thought id make a thread on the memoirs on the wonderful technical marvel.

First Flight - 21 December 1988

Carries Buran space shuttle-1988

World Record for the longest pecie of cargo transported through an airplane - 11 June 2010

Y'all can continue..

Anyone having plans on making a replica RC model of it?
Personal memories will be welcomed.

peace,
SF136

As soon as I find 6 edfs at a good deal, I will get started.

Someone on here did a dtfb/3d print AN 124. Shouldnt be that hard.

I saw it flying in to Dayton, Ohio a few years ago. It made the poofy clouds it was flying through look incredibly small.

A few of my favorite flights through it via Rotor Riot and FT peeps!
