The Antonov An-225 Mriya will be missed greatly, RIP.

Thanks for including the B-52. I still think the outriggers are hilarious. Miss seeing them in the air.

I think the TU-160 is also the largest plane with variable wing geometry. Fascinating plane, no question.
Some of these collossal birds look really good, but others then are quite unusual or straight WEIRD.
Though i LOVE the Guppy. It´s cute. From afar.

As a retired pilot I used to fly some of these big boys from 747 passenger planes to cargo planes. They are surprisingly easy to operate

All-in-all, a great video, however, at 18:30 - It's stated that the C5 Galaxy was used to transport the [retired] Space Shuttle. The C5 was never used to transport the space shuttle; it was considered, but never used for that role. Instead, modified Boeing 747s were the only aircraft ever used for that role; two were converted for that purpose...

Why? Why the hell do we need bigger planes?

Out of this whole video, I'm just disappointed to not see what a Photoshoped A380 that could be 7 half-height decks for Midgets and 7 Engines on each wing! We could call it the AirBus A-Fuqet. Missed opportunity Top-Fives!

First bomber I knew of as a kid when my dad was stationed at Travis Air Force Base the B36.

Awesome mini documentary about Aviation! I love this!

[gwpgcbt]

i swear i've literally dreamt of the 15th plane on this list. and i've never heard of it until now.

Thank you for posting this impressive video

Stratolaunch at #14?
OBVIOUSLY not a sorted list.
Should be either #2 or #1 depending on what specific statistic you are looking at vs the AN-225.

As the air traffic controller said to the pilot "You have over 800 people!"

[nickolasgaspar]

converting lb to km was an interesting...detail for the KC 10.

[David-yubz]

It's amazing that these monstrosities could have stability in the air.

A number of years ago, may 10 years, I saw an Antonov parked at the Indianapolis airport (IND). I don't know which one and why it was there but it certainly is difficult to forget ... the thing was jaw dropping big.
