[jackson021ify]

I think I saw UFO at 00:05

[sajones0403]

the Soviet Antovov is the standard bearer for cargo transporter

[bennyc333]

The mans face @07:35 makes me laugh

[diamondrio21]

i saw this wonder of flight when it flew into my city, las vegas nevada usa, a few years ago, i'll never forget seeing it come in and waiting all day till night to watch it take back off, it was delievering a 180 ton transformer, and the part i remember the most is that there was a boeing 747-400 parked just off to the left of it, and compared to the 225 it looked like a cessna parked next to a c5, how to imagine how big it is till you see it in real life, IMPRESSIVE AIRCRAFT !!

[MrNowwhatido]

but i think the b52 is the biggest

[xrayracer1]

@MrNowwhatido i hate to burst your bubble, but the b52 is not even close. the b52 is 160ft long, the an 225 is 275ft long, the b52 is 40ft high, the an 225 is 59ft high, the b52 has a wingspan of 185ft, the an 225 has a wingspan of 290ft, and the list goes on! i thought the b52 was the biggest but i checked out their specs in wikipedia and i was suprised!!

[TheJorens]

i just wonder.... is it economical?

XD

[xrd1Hal9000]

06:41, download complete LOL :)

[ppqcanadian]

I think you're right but the movement still funny in my eyes. thanks .

[ppqcanadian]

From 0.03 to 0.09 look like UFO ? CAN YOU SEE IT?

[TheGreatFlyer]

@ppqcanadian That is called a bird, not a UFO!!!!

[johnmw13]

i wonder what its radar signature is ?

[EricsTechTalk]

@johnmw13 It's radar signature is exactly the same as an Antonov 225.

[yankee22167]

humm...that shuttle looks familiar...lol....russians, the great rip off....lol

[YUSKHAN]

Put Russia in a corner and they will blow your american asses away

[mobius1aic]

@YUSKHAN And America would blow their asses away. Hence mutual assured destruction.

[YUSKHAN]

@mobius1aic

Why do you hate your life so much, which is the only country that can destroy america, think about it, you get your fat ass fucken nuked, I going to dance when Washington get's nuked!

[5701457]

wtf.....at 5:37 is that tank pushing it?

[fr1ngeTV]

6:41 Windows Sound Beep lol

[patton303]

Yeah but they built hundreds of C-5's. And only one 225. Just sayin...

[xXfutureflyaXx]

they should honestly consider putting like ge90's on the An-225. or Something that is a little more powerful like the new trents on the A380 or the new engines on the 747-8

[YourFatClownAss]

3 years!!!! NOT 30 like it takes now!

[hacker121294]

copyrights issues.



[raulox71]

Antonov 225 could carry 1500 people on board... Two times the Airbus 380.

[jasleil]

Wow, AN-225 kinda have the same story like the B747.

[mmcclain88]

if the antonov 225 ever became a a flying hotel, i'm pretty sure that it would never pay for itself. and one day it would be shot down or crash and thousands of people would die.

[nmbanana]

they say that making a jet in 3 years is nearly impossible, but the ingenious lockheed sr 17 was designed and constructed in around 85 days

[mrcheekyface1]

i felt sorry for the Antonov 225 when they did not fly it for that many years :'(

[SFConifer]

Boeing built the world's largest building first before they built the 747

[pirocanac93]

america started to exist in 1787, if you want history.......

[MoonshadowRogue]

6:30 - 6:32

Beautiful

[Bohdan1990]

the plane is called MRIYA. a Ukrainian word....hahaha fuck russia.

[scarabeus79]

7:30 i love the way he's laughing at people who wanted to turn this plane into a flying gay pride.

[pchan6111]

Is that tire smoke at 6:11? I can't imagine that the tires would rub on retraction but it looks like too much smoke for just brake dust.

[dmetrs]

nah, thats carbon from the engines

[jobenenen]

hmm rather nice must be damn expensive for 1 hour of flight.

[mutizen99]

wtf is the work of this guys is it aeronautical engineer???

[xfernydrummerX]

omg...what an amazing aircraft, i was blown away by the C-5, but AN-225 it's just the biggest air lifter, and in my opinion the best!!

[InvaderShaza]

@xfernydrummerX

Yeah... My uncle used to fly a C-5 years ago and he was amazed by it. He must be blown away by this. :P

[supertuber97]

what a fantastic plane. give me goosebumps

[freemusicblogg]

Damn, such a bad weather for maiden flight. Welcome to USSR. :-)

[milxl]

At 6:17 the wings fits each other

[ASUSfan08]

The wing mounted on roof may seem odd in Antonov's but actually that type of construction is the most stable

[BALTAZARFAP]

russian or ukranian ,,for me are the same people who i admire a lot. Antonovs aircrafts are , for me, the best of the world.

(antonov an32 pilot here ;) )

[zx169]

@BALTAZARFAP

sweet aircraft, one of my fav from Antonov, besides An 2 and An 22

[fr1ngeTV]

@BALTAZARFAP Ukraine is in Russia

[BNMadman]

@fr1ngeTV No it's not, learn some geography.

[beardization]

@fr1ngeTV No, it's in Ukraine

[ljeskovica]

Oleg Konstantinovich Antonov born 7 February 1906, Troitsy Moscow province, In 1930, Antonov graduated from the Kalinin Polytechnical Institute in Leningrad.( Saint Petersburg )In 1946, he was appointed head of the aircraft design bureau, that was later moved to Kiev.(Data from Wikipedia)So he was Russian,and company was moved from Russian land to Ukrainian land because of political decision.Now Ukrainians are proud with somebody's else achivements.

[pjtc85]

every time a good aircraft is born, a dump comes behind it and gets cancelled.
