World's Heaviest Aircraft! Antonov An-225 Mriya Stunning Take Off from Toronto Pearson Airport

Hello everyone,

Here is the world's heaviest aircraft, the mighty Antonov An-225 rocketing off of RWY 06L on a beautiful morning. The aircraft was flying back to China via Anchorage. The An-225 flew in the day before to bring in medical supplies related to COVID-19. Something really good came out of this awful pandemic.

Unfortunately, this marvel of an aircraft was sadly destroyed in the Ukrainian invasion of 2022. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Ukraine during this extremely difficult time.

My grandfather died in early 90's, when I was 3 yo. He worked as an engineer on the Antonov plant in Kyiv city, Ukraine. His job was design and layout of appliances in the cockpit.
"Mriya" (in Ukrainian "The Dream") was a secret project, nobody was allowed to talk about it outside the plant, even with their families. Dad told me that one day Grandpa came from work with burning eyes and said they are going to build something absolutely stunning. These were the only words he was allowed to say to his wife and kids. And it was true. An-225 even in 2020 strikes people's imagination. Somewhere in the cockpit there is part of soul and hard work of my grandfather. Proud and grateful to my grandfather and other Ukrainian and Soviet engineers, designers and plant workers.
R.I.P. Grandpa, your Dream still flies!

I’ve never looked at something and thought more “there is no way that can fly”.

[Blackend.]

Legend says that turbulence actively avoids this plane.

[dewdewism]

I'm an American and have to say, it's sad to see destroyed. I hope it can be rebuilt someday. It's truly one of the greatest planes to ever be built.

[burkanov]

- "there is a strange buzz in the cargo room, Dmitry, please check what's wrong". Dmitry gets on a bike, drives to cargo room from the cabin, returns an hour later - "ah, just some Cessna flew in and was circling around the lamp, I opened the door a let it out"

[tickdog]

Hard to believe that thing can get off the ground.

[sstrick]

"How many tires should we use for the landing gear?"

"Yes"

[Chrisovideos]

Hearing the tower warn the next aircraft of wake turbulence is an understatement. I hope they get another one flying. Absolutely elegant beast.

[myronkoyle]

Sad to hear that such a huge piece of aviation history was destroyed. Wish I could've seen her fly.

[bcp]

Fun fact: this plane is 84 meters long
American term : size of a football field.

[Kishan]

RIP AN-225. An iconic life of service. Thank you for delivering crucial medical supplies during the height of the pandemic. Fly in Paradise, peaceful giant

[happyguy]

The biggest. The baddest. The best of the best at it's finest.

Antonov AN-225 forever

Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 love

Imagine piloting a plane where every time you go to take off they put a load of fire trucks on standby.. that must fill you with confidence!

If you are ever having a stressful day and feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, just come back to this video and think about the tires on this plane.

[salvation]

We're getting ready for take off.
We have 5 runways which one would you like?
We'll do 1-2 for the left wing 3 for the middle and 4-5 for the right wing.

[elcocodriloazul]

Its hard to believe how easy and smoothly that takeoff was.

[RaptorJesus.]

the Antonov doesn't really fly, it simply scares the ground away.

Rip to the AN-255, A piece of aviation that won’t be forgotten
