This hits different now that we all learned it’s actually destroyed in real life
May the greatest plane in the world Rest In Peace

"Antonov what the hell are you doing?"

"WE ARE ESCAPING FROM HELL"

[NaveenPisharody]

Antonov Mriya will always be a special Aircraft amongst Aviation ethusiasts... 🥺😢

[MegamanTheSecond]

the air tower guy shouting orders is such a great touch along with the fireman clearly the situation is beyond any of them but they desperately cling to illusion of control they had left until his last moments

[natemadill]

Gordon had the steepest learning curve as a pilot ever going from a small 1 engine plane to the world's largest plane in a few days

[one_won]

This plane need to warm up its engine for like 4 to 5 minutes
2012:WE DONT DO THAT HERE

0:43 Don't they know that there is a passenger seating area on the second floor? this room has 20 economy style seats and several bunks. As an aviation enthusiast I take this stuff seriously!

[Komyeta]

It would be amazing if the ATC said "You're Cleared for Take Off, God Be With You, Antonov"

[njbusnut]

Gordon went from learning to fly a twin piston Cessna through a collapsing city to flying an Antonov in the exact same situation in one day. Gotta give props to him.

[SHT_THPUMP]

Imagine hearing "cmon baby, lift your big ass for sasha" on the black box recorders 😂😂😂

[AlexSaints-tk]

Because of this scene, Antonov became one of my favoritr airplane brands

[gpmishra]

[luthermcgee]

I'm only now realizing how much I miss this movie.

[DESIBOY-fenm]

Shit they just blew it up.

[harrisonshone]

Fun fact, the Antonov 500 is a fictional plane that is modeled after the real life Antonov-255 Myrna, the largest plane ever designed, which was destroyed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

[patrickhebdo]

RIP stepdad guy. he pulled off that move with the plane and didn’t deserve his fate near the end :(

[punnpunnp.]

I like how they just take an An-225 and rename it An-500 and put a back door in.

[guardian]

Antonov: starts down the runway
Physics: so long suckaz

[monkeybusinessasusuall]

I swear to god this movie is just planes flying through destruction and I love it
