Antonov


I was browsing the web , and I saw a picture of Antonov An-225 Mriya. and it made me to write this post. :)

I always loved the aviation. I used to make airplane models. some static and some flyable. I still have all of them and I really enjoy them. flying was all of my dreams. I still wanna fly and I'm trying to get a PPL lisence. and who knows maybe CPL after that ;)

Antonov is one of my favorite aircraft designers and producers in the world. its planes are very productive. and either An-225 Mriya is one of my favorite airplanes. it's almost the biggest and heaviest plane in the world. see the comparison diagram in the page linked above. it shows the differences between An-225 and Boeing 747-400, Airbus A380-800 and Hughes H-4 Spruce goose.

At the first An-225 was made to carry the Soviet Union’s space shuttle Buran. but latter in 2001 it flied again for military transporting purposes.
