I remember watching other YouTube video where other pilot would be excited to see the world largest plane on the radio. So sad to see it gone now. 😢

Channel was called VASAviation when the ANTONOV AN-225 landed in Oakland, California.

Of course material losses don't compare to lives, but man this news made me sad when I saw it.

Hey putin. You can destroy an 225 mriya, but you cannot destroy my mriya (dream)!

Well that's sad because there goes a bit of aviation history, well at least there's a several others that can be brought back up par.

Somewhat dumb question but is it possible to build a new one? Also is the 747 more the biggest

Imagine a game where you could fly this plane and carry stuff with it

[andrewbarlow]

I can repair the aircraft. Call me.

It's actually the second largest, with the US built Stratolaunch aircraft being the largest.

"unprovoked attack" 😝😂🤣

I guess NATO trying to put military insulations on the Russian border was just snuggling with puppies.
