Antonov 225 - After her being here for a few days, it was time for her to go. Apparently the tow bar snapped on push back so we were waiting for a while, but it was well worth getting soaked to watch it. Not quite sure the reasons for its strange taxi route to 24L, note the lead car guiding the way.

  • at manchester airport does the antanov come in on mondays?

  • This is the only time the Antonov 225 has ever been to Manchester Airport. There has been know indication of the aircraft making a return any time soon.

  • How many of these were built and how many are still in service? Awesome airplane. I thought the Lockheed C5 Galaxy was pretty awesome but this thing is in a league all to itself. Hell, it probably has its own timezone. Half of its weight at takeoff is probably fuel.

  • This is the only one in the world. A second one is currently under construction, but whether or not it will be completed is a different story. On a full load it can way up to 600tons as far as I know. its Length is 275ft and wingspan 290ft. Truely the worlds largest aircraft

  • @walshy3000 ive heard that the second 225 is gonna be build with in a few years

  • awesome footage

  • i need the on bord radio frequenzes. Please help

  • It can indeed mate, Manc chester is a fully fledged international airport with standard legnth runways, which the antanov can take off and land on with no problem as they were incorporated into design considerations.

  • The wierd taxi route is probabbly due to weight limits on specific taxiways and the large turing radius of the plane.

  • Всем большой привет от русских! :)

  • Manchester England dont think you could fit this @MHT
