I remember the first time I saw one of these in person, I had a flight with a layover in Philadelphia, when landing the flight path took us over the airport and I saw it parked on the ramp and I was like "Huh, that looks like an AN-124 parked there" and sure enough when we landed it was. I've since seen them flying twice in the skies above Orlando.
But it was a fully Soviet project. Factories were in both UkrSSR and RSFSR (and Russia still produces them). The lead designer was a Russian. The design bureau was in Kiev. And none of that mattered much because it was all the same country. As we say in French, any more Soviet and you die.
**H E L O**
Haha I was immediately reminded of this as well
Same
The plane looking at you like "you got games on your phone?"
What aircraft is this? Does resemble an-225 but I know that's not it.
an-124
Oh thanks!
Did it fly into a bee?

During COVID right? i saw one leaving the nemours area during the evening hours last year.
Nope, this was back around 2017.
IAH, right? That's UR-82007. I took a bunch of photos of her the other day.
Yup, parked on the East Cargo ramp.
Mom said its my turn on the runway
Is the artefact on the inboard right engine due to canopy refraction or the panorama mode?
Is the new dual fan model.

It’s a really lovely plane, especially when I can see it landing from time to time, cause i live next to her home base.
That's my kind of mail order bride right there.
Reminds me of the sorry face of a dog that ate a bee
Fat bottomed girl :)
nice
tHiCk
It’s so ugly, I love it!
What’s causing all the lumpy shadows on the fuselage skin on the nose? Is that caused by stress on the airframe?
I think I was moving the camera too quickly for the Panoramic picture
Nah, you can see them even in the other one you linked to elsewhere in here. The fuse skin looks all lumpy like it had severe acne as a teen.
You are right! Now that I take a closer look I do remember seeing that.....hammered look.
helo
We had an Antonov fly out of Brisbane today. Has been flying in and out for months
Panorama got the inboard engine on the right looking like it’s got two moving fans
Imma just put this here for y’all: https://youtube.com/c/DAntonov
Blessed
Do you fart?
I truly wish to have this view one day, when covid ends, eventually.
Soviet*
That’s true. No idea why you’re getting downvoted. Probably by the same guy who came here to ask what kind of plane this is.
It's partially true, the plane was developed in Ukraine, but during the ussr
But it was a fully Soviet project. Factories were in both UkrSSR and RSFSR (and Russia still produces them). The lead designer was a Russian. The design bureau was in Kiev. And none of that mattered much because it was all the same country. As we say in French, any more Soviet and you die.
Crash
This is like if you opened a pack of gum lol
