Former USSR Antonov 225 “Mriya” is the biggest and most impressive jet plane ever built

I firstly saw a documentary on the 225 on TV and I was astonished. You have to see it in movement. Initially built for launching the Russian Space Shuttle into space, this giant currently serves as a heavy lift (up to 200 tons!) transport. Including itself, the fuel and the loads, the max take-off weight is 600 tons! Its strong 32 wheels allows landings in any kind of terrain. Well, there are so many astonishing facts! Check out the best source for photos and information about the Mriya I have found.
