Antonov Antheus (UR-82060)

the hammer - super photo -

Damn that's a big plane! If anyone notices, the wingtips are within feet of the adjacent taxiways on either side of the runway.

very good!

Saw it up close at Pearson Airport 2 years ago pictures don't do it justice when you see it, it is real big and different from any other aircraft you see.

Да знатная машина.

Leading edge of wings - used to keep it from floating off lol

What a machine :)Nice picture.

I too saw this at Pearson back in Nov 2014...this is 1 gorgeous aircraft...ohh and its Antonov Mriya not Antheus..that was another great aircraft, the AN22.

The Antheus was a rotorcraft.

The Antheus was not a rotorcraft. It was a fixed wing cargo plane.

Look up the Antonov An-22 "Antei"... var. Antheus - Antaeus.

Amazing the wings just don't fall off! That's not a small SUV in front of it either! Thanks! Great shot!

There has to be some industrial size and strength spars in those wings!!

First one I saw was parked across the airfield and the size wasn't all that impressive - until I realized the 'baggage cart' parked by the main gear was actually a flatbed semi trailer!

Rivets they use on bridges in the USA

AN225 "Mriya" (dream) is a one of a kind heavy lifter. Was on it once in PHL in the late '90's. It was in Philadelphia to transport medical equipment to the Ukraine. A monster of an aircraft that is still used for outsized cargo hauling. Charter Flights.
For three bucks, we could take a tour of the inside. The cockpit was as large as a house.

Exelente foto!

The negative dihedral of the wings is greater than the B52. Impressive aircraft.

Isn't that an AN225?

The name of the a/c is under the pilot's window, just enlarge the photo and you'll find it. Cheers

WOW!
