In light of the many tragedies we are seeing arising out of the wanton destruction of Ukraine by Russia, it almost seems silly to note that a one-of-a-kind aviation treasure also appears to have been destroyed.
While still not quite official, numerous reports strongly suggest that the world’s largest operational transport aircraft, the Antonov AN-225 ‘Mriya’ (‘Dream’ in Ukrainian), may have been destroyed in the Russian invasion. The massive six-engine transport was the only one of its kind, after insufficient money was allowed to finish an in-process second iteration nearly twenty years ago. The next few weeks are going to be intense for ANN as we prep for the LIVE webcasting that has been a part of the Aircraft Electronic Association for nearly a decade and a half, as well as the 2022 Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo, a week later. AEA LIVE Coverage can be seen at www.airborne-live.net. Sun n Fun DAILY Coverage will be webcast from www.snfdd.com. Comments made by the Russian head of the Russian space agency, Roscosmos, have hit a nerve when he pushed back on the public perception of US sanctions, essentially telling followers on social media in so many words: "You need us more than we need you." All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
