There is some talk about attempting to restore the partially built second Mriya type but the cost is enormous.

One of the smoothest landings I’ve ever seen. It was so smooth I could somehow feel it in my living room 😁

What a rare moment with Antonov at LAX! Great job, Kevin!!!

This is one one of many reasons why I ❤LAX. Definitely a Holy Moly moment for sure. Great view from high atop the H Hotel. 😊✈️

Today wasn’t a good day for me, health wise. But when the Antonov came into view, all that pain seemed to disappear! Nice catch!

Now that's called butter landing 🛬

thankful to Sir Richard Branson for taking the lead in restoring the AN225 Mirya, senselessly destryoyed early in the Ukr/Rus war. I was able to see AN124 several times as it delivered 777 Engines to Boeing Everett since its cargo hold is immense. 777 Engines are very large.

They have carried all kinds of cargo to Boeing they can unload from both ends they have a ramp in front and a overhead crane in the back, I've unloaded many of them and pushed them back for takeoffs.

That was the larger An-225 (six jet engines), of which only one was completed. The smaller (if you can imagine this!), four-engine An-124 in this video is one of 50-plus aircraft that were built.

My favorite location for plane spotting. It's just sweet!! Thank you Kevin.

Outstanding video 🙏❤️✈️

AN-124s are frequent visitors at Paine Field. It's so cool to see the flight crew gets the giant bird ready for flight (it's the only plane I know that carries its own tow bar).

The doors didn't blow off! They must be doing it right 👍

I once saw two of these parked at Houston Intercontinental Airport. Apparently, they were transporting a bunch of oilfield equipment overseas. It’s amazing seeing just one but two at the same time was something else.

That was awesome to see the Antonov AN-124 that made my day. I absolutely loved it as always. See you soon on Sunday. ❤

I live right outside of LAX and see all manner of aircraft flying in/out, but damn, sure sucks I missed this. Sweet touchdown.

When we lived in Leipzig, Germany there was a fleet of Antonov's at the Leipzig Airport.

@@yw0522 It could have been May of '88 when I was there. I guessed it was '89 but it was a guess. I went up in the front and the crew let me sit in the left seat. With my broken Russian and their broken English they explained all the systems. I had been on C-5A aircraft in the Air Force. I never thought I'd be able to sit in a Soviet transport, so it was very interesting to me. Yeah, it was still during Soviet times and it was all one country.

Great job Kevin the let's you catch the best shots from LAX.

Flew right over of my house at about 2000 ft coming out of bwi earlier this week.

Great landing for a huge monster of a plane- Antonov AN-124. I read that it can hold 150 tons of cargo.

This AN124 (reg UR-82007) participated in May 22 1988 San Diego air show. Its reg# was CCCP-82007, It belonged to Soviet Union then. I walked into this airplane and I saw several people spitting on its tires. I believe some people hated USSR at that time..l still have some picures and I was 39 year old

And now we love it! Many people don't realize how much the Ukrainians helped the Soviet Union's technological development, including Antonov. One of the reasons why Putin is so hell-bent on dragging them back into the Kremlin's orbit is because Russian tech has never been the same, and a big part of it was losing Ukraine after the fall of the Soviet Union. I would love to see Western countries start ordering Antonov planes like these. They are on-par with US heavy-lift aircraft.
