The Antonov An-225 Mriya was a strategic airlift cargo aircraft designed and produced by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was initially developed during the 1980s as an enlarged derivative of the Antonov An-124 airlifted to transport Buran-class orbiters.

Thank you for watching!

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 remembered this back in 2014. They yelled "biggest airplane" and people went crazy because that antonov were about to land in our international airport. And yes! Even from distance, it was extremely loud.

She's dead.
I personally saw her takeoffs and landings and I will remember this miracle of engineering

I was at Boeing Field in Seattle when an AN-124 was parked in transient parking there. A 737 business jet came in, and they parked it under the wing of the AN-124. That's a big ship. The -225 must have been truly something to see in person.

Had the pleasure of seeing this giant at GSP International in Greer South Carolina in November 2007. She was picking up diesel turbine engines from the nearby General Electric plant in Greenville.. What an awesome sight to see. I believe she'll be rebuilt..

I remember a transportation that i´ve organized for Airbus parts in Germany / Hamburg with the AN-225, what a giant aircraft. But the price for the transport was also very high.

I really hope to see they will revive antonov.. Legendary plane indeed

I love this plane so much I even ordered a 1:500 scale model by Herpa collection and still enjoy looking at it.
