February 27, 2022. MRIYA. MISERABLE END OF A DREAM. A gentle giant. A plane without guns, without bombs, without missiles, without instruments of death. A majestic flying machine designed and built by men of ingenuity and goodwill TO BUILD and not destroy! All reduced to a pile of wreckage. SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI
In honor of this wonderful work of aeronautical engineering and the crew of the Antonov AN 225, we pay tribute to this colossus of the Aires, its captain Dimitriv Antonov and all the members of the crew, God bless them and may the construction of another wonderful team.
sou brasileiro , e estou muito triste com essa perca desse gigante , esse marco histórico da aviação mundial ... , chamado antonov 225 , ... descanse em paz antonov 225 ...
Saw this bird come into Point Mugu Navy Base in California many years ago and it was something I will never forget seeing................That bird is freaking huge!!!
This is undoubtedly the best video about the Antonov 225 that I found here in YT. I do not resign myself,with the size and load capacity of this airplane... I wanted to let my thanks to Air-Clips.com staff,for sharing this video.
this must be the most beautifull airliner ive ever seen for her size she does her work and yet is still a lady of the sky so gracefull when she lands theres no clouds of dust and touches down as light as a feather sue asbury
The most professional flight I have ever seen. Congrats the crew and other stuff members. Very reliable technique. A maybe older acft and that is why it is reliable. Ukrainians are very pragmatik aircraft builders. Regards from Finnish Lapland. A huge TOW over 600 tons and max payload 250 tons...!!
What an adventure watching this was for me. The sheer size of the airplane is breath-taking. Watching it land was absolutely beautiful. What a fantastic job the pilot has. Thanks for the upload. :)
I love this plane like as my best friend.😍 When it came in world, I was very happy and lucky 😁to see such a big plane in my life. Almost today, I think for the plane and got afraid 😔about the crash of the plane, hitting by the Russian army in Russia - Ukraine war. I love Antonov an-225 mirya forever ❤️
I had the amazing experience when this beast of a plane flew into Shannon Airport Ireland years ago just to witness the sheer size of it I'd probably won't witness a plane that big again in my lifetime I was saddened when I seen it in bits in the hanger rip to the king of the skies 🙏 😢
Flying is mankind's greatest achievement. It's the one thing nature never intended for us to do. Cars, trains, and boats replace walking or swimming. But nothing replaces flying.
Fantastic! Remarkable how you can just feel how heavy that column is when the captain's testing it. And holy smokes, what was left on that runway when the rotate call came: 50 yards??!!! Terrific!
Amazing cargo aircraft. Definitely an engineering marvel. I’m surprised that the panel hasn’t been upgraded with modern avionics by now. Great video ! 🍺
Air-Clips.com..... is there any Real chance that a second copy of this flying wonder will ever come to fruition ?? Great videos... Greatly appreciate all your efforts to make these videos possible to take us, where most of us could never get to.
This is just how i and billions of people wil have the opportunity to meet and fly in this unique, gigantic, beautiful and rare bird. Greetings from Brazil.
This is by far the best video on the Antonov AN-225 that I have ever seen, you put a lot of work into this masterpiece! Someone criticized the fact that you cut the movie to often! Well... my question is... how could you integrate all of the different points of view of the same action if you didn't cut ?!? Fantastic Job!
Well! Quite by accident I watched it flying over our house this afternoon! It was due to a landing in Leipzig Frachtflughafen and the approach lead it directly over Radebeul where it still had some 3000m height - but you could barely hear those 6 mighty turbofans - really amazing! What a day! I wish all the best to the crew and always some good freight to carry!! Greetings Mike
Thanks for posting this AWESOME video! So much respect to the Ukrainian people. I am an American who now lives in Ukraine--in the Transcarpathian region--in a town called TERESVA. It is literally a 15 to 20 minute walk to/from Romania. I love it here so much. I plan on staying here. I am a legal resident. The people here are very talented at everything that they do. They are a very detailed hardworking people. Everything that they do is done with perfect & precision craftsmanship!
I first saw this aircraft at an airshow at Rickenbacker Air Force Base near Columbus, Ohio, USA. It was amazing then, and even more impressive now that I am an adult. I'm happy to see the Antonov company is keeping these beautiful birds busy and in the air. Best of luck and continuing success to the company and the crew. Keep up the great work!
Look, I understand that this video isn't about me and no one watching came here in order to read about my thoughts . . . . . But, I love this stuff and I love airplanes and spend an embarrassing amount of time on channels such as this even though I am not a pilot and I don't even like to fly. Go figure. Still, I find this and like or similar videos simply enthralling.
+CAROLVS OMG I thought your words were mine. Everything you wrote applies exactly to me. I read lots of avgeek books too and watch Flight Radar 24. Avgeekitis is a cool disease. :)
+CAROLVS I'm glad to see that I'm not alone, I too am afraid to fly but I find these videos utterly fascinating. I also spend an insane amount of time watching videos of fighter jets as well.
I feel ya mate, my office is right in front of the LAX airport with view to all the four runways; needless to say, this gigantic pieces of engineering are just an amazing thing to watch.
It's a 154 metric tonne boiler manufactured by DB Schenkel to be transported from Leipzig, Germany to Edmonton, Canada. The boiler was purchased by Agrium for use in the production of nitrogen fertilizer in a plant located 52 km's North of Edmonton, just outside a town called Redwater.
I was lucky enough to see from inside the Denver airport, I was then working on the airport, the take off of the other Antonov, the one with four engines, little bit smaller than this, but was an awesome experience!!! love this plane.
空中的巨无霸，人类的智慧结晶，工程界的伟大杰作。 战争，心碎的一刻。天佑乌克兰！ A giant in the sky, a crystallization of human wisdom, a great masterpiece in the engineering world. War, a moment of heartbreak. God bless Ukraine!
If I see one of these masterpieces in the sky holy cow AMAZING! I just stumbled on this and now I want more . Love aviation and thank you to people like you who take time to educate us . Just when you think how big the world is, you see another video on just how endless a world is in how Russia creator of this adds to the HUGE WORLD AMAZING WORLD HUMANS CAN DO. IF OUR COUNTRIES ARE SMART, PUT DOWN ALL WEAPONS AND JOIN FORCES FOR THE BEST MANKIND AND MAKE THIS WORLD EVEN MORE AMAZING FOR ONE ANOTHER. LETS ALL TAP IN TO THE CREATED RESOURCES and move forward TOGETHER. Just amazing
"If you see one of these masterpieces ... " Singular, as in WAS only one of these and now it has been destroyed. Will not be rebuilt by Russia or Ukraine. No money. Not by America, we have the Super Galaxies that fly farther, recently upgraded and carry much much more weight than "IT" does because IT DOESN'T FLY NO MO.
RIP my Dream. The most beautiful queen to ever fly. Yet one more bit of context in how ridiculous war is. What a waste. That whole ridiculous "war" is cannibalistic.
To me is very interesting how a plane like this can take all the pressure and not break apart, amazing video. Making a such thing be airborne is an art
Just when you think they've shown you the whole plane, the cameraman enters another room! I didn't realize just how large this aircraft was! Great video, thanks for posting.
What a beast that thing is. Wow. The engines look small on those wings. Thanks for a great video! It was really educational to see how it's loaded and unloaded as well. Excellent stuff!!

No big LCD dispalys, No GPS, very very few digital instruments, analog instruments etc... This is old school flying and I love it

RIP Mriya rest in peace
maybe it will just be a (Mriya) dream to be able to fly again 😢
maybe some day they will bring a exact replica so you could try it out
My heart aches when seeing this.. RIP antonov😢 youll be missed forever!
I don't know why I've watched this 3 times to the end, .I came back a few years after watching it for the first time before. 😫 love u An 225 Mriya ♥️

Thank you for your support during the Great East Japan Earthquake.
In honor of this wonderful work of aeronautical engineering and the crew of the Antonov AN 225, we pay tribute to this colossus of the Aires, its captain Dimitriv Antonov and all the members of the crew, God bless them and may the construction of another wonderful team.
I can't believe this one is still in service since 1988 yet I'm so relieved to know they are rebuilding one more.

1988-2022
Can you imagine the amount of skill it would take to fly a plane this size? It’s amazing to see this behemoth still flying! Great Footage!
It’s not flying anymore. So sad.
Saw this bird come into Point Mugu Navy Base in California many years ago and it was something I will never forget seeing................That bird is freaking huge!!!
In Memoriam AN 225 Mriya, May Rest in Peace and we are proud
AN-225 seems to do hard work in this times of Covid, great job !
Respect to Captain Dimitri Antonov! - What an absolute wonderful aircraft . . . . . . . . . .
I never cease to be amazed by this incredible aircraft. The crew who fly her are one of a kind, and the most fortunate pilots in the cargo world.
This is undoubtedly the best video about the Antonov 225 that I found here in YT. I do not resign myself,with the size and load capacity of this airplane... I wanted to let my thanks to Air-Clips.com staff,for sharing this video.

This plane is so BEAUTIFUL 😍.
Antonov 225 - The king of the skies.
Wright brothers, i wish you could see this… What a beautiful aircraft design… amazing machine!
This is such an awesome video! This aircraft is so graceful,and it was a real joy to watch the talented crew fly her.
This plane is a “must have” in the world for helping business dealing with hefty parts. Keep it up
It was destroyed in 2022 by the Russians.
The most professional flight I have ever seen. Congrats the crew and other stuff members. Very reliable technique. A maybe older acft and that is why it is reliable. Ukrainians are very pragmatik aircraft builders. Regards from Finnish Lapland. A huge TOW over 600 tons and max payload 250 tons...!!
I'm finding that watching videos of beautiful aircraft like this one is helping me to overcome my fear of flying.

What can go wrong with 6 engines, a pair of steady wings and a lot of vodka on board
Brilliant video, very sad to see her go , RIP

Nicely put!
Sorry for your loss. Such senseless destruction. It’s felt by all of us who love aviation and the machines that make human flight a reality.
Turbulence changes direction when it see’s this plane coming at it
👏 👏 👏 👏
It's also pride of all humanity. So beautiful, so big, and only one such aircraft in the world.
When this plane come to land it brings crowds. No other plane have this feature. 😉
Absolutely incredible what mankind is able to accomplish. What a long way aviation has come; the Ukrainian people should be proud.
kevininsimi Yes, you're right. amazing machine!
It's very sad that such a wonderful aircraft was destroyed.

С детсва мечтал быть пилотом. Три самолета которые очень любил и мог любоваться долго: Конкорд, B747 и Мрія

Frigging Plane is bigger than the high school I went to! I nominate it as the 8th wonder of the world, an Engineering Marvel, Unbelievable!!
Brett Bass Haha - lovely coment!

Greetings from Brazil.
It’s only for cargo, not passengers.
Great Soviet master piece
These Pilots land this"Monster"like if it was a Ballerina........They flare that thing like a Jet-Fighter.......AMAZING.
This is by far the best video on the Antonov AN-225 that I have ever seen, you put a lot of work into this masterpiece! Someone criticized the fact that you cut the movie to often! Well... my question is... how could you integrate all of the different points of view of the same action if you didn't cut ?!? Fantastic Job!
Andrew Ferrari Andrew, I have no words. I enjoy your comment so much, thanks a lot and I hope you stay tuned!
King of the Sky and rightfully so. Great vid of the inside of a jet we may never get to see in person.
Pilot: ‘’Alright, we’ve arrived at the destination. What enormous payload are we here to collect.’’
6:00 - ‘’My bicycle.’’
The Antonov 225 is just like Mammoet heavy cargo carrier on wings, never get tiered of watching them 👍👍👍
Amazing plane. Excellent footage. I really enjoyed it. According to the experts it takes 10 years of training to fly this giant plane.
Well! Quite by accident I watched it flying over our house this afternoon! It was due to a landing in Leipzig Frachtflughafen and the approach lead it directly over Radebeul where it still had some 3000m height - but you could barely hear those 6 mighty turbofans - really amazing!

So Graceful you wouldn't think something that big could take off, great video thanks for the upload.

I’m in love with the 225 so much, I’ve watched so many videos about it and can’t get enough, kudos to the whole Antonnov team 👌👌
Me too. I think I have watched all existing videos of this plane. I am still fascinated by it.
I had the great fortune to see and visit the Antonov on the occasion of the Airport Day in Leipzig years ago. It was an unforgettable experience.
Must be a great privilege to be able to fly this beast and get paid to do it at the same time.
Wow. Seeing the Antonov 225 live is definitely on my bucket list.
This has to be one of the most insightful and best aviation vids ever. Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
Thomas Türling Thank you so much, Thomas - glad you enjoyed!
Air-Clips.com youre welcome
It's a thing of beauty. I've only ever seen this pilot. What happens when he retires!?
14:37 looked as though the Jumbo was being eaten by Mriya.
***** Yeah, that was the plan!
and 45:14 upper left corner - halloween lamp xD
+bobsurgranny Just sitting in front of my computer and saying : "nom nom nom nom" as the Jumbo was eaten ^^

I’m so happy the Ukraines have vowed to rebuild this wonderful plane. Lucky to have seen one at Manchester Airport. Beautiful plane xxxxx

The video Description says that, along with much more information. ;-)
RIP Mriya - You are soaring above us in another dimension
Air-Clips Studios makes all the blockbusters!
I had the privilege of watching her land, load and take off from my city. She was a beautiful aircraft. ✈💔
What an awesome craft! Thanks for all the work that went into making this video. Well done!
Those engines sound magnificent
I really have respect for this giant cargo aircraft manufactured in the former sovietic union.
The best plane video I have ever seen of my life. Well done and best wishes.
Amazingly, Heavy, Smooth, Powerful and Gorgeous take off. Just Awesome Maaan!!!
Only awesome people get to fly planes like this.
I was lucky enough to see from inside the Denver airport, I was then working on the airport, the take off of the other Antonov, the one with four engines, little bit smaller than this, but was an awesome experience!!! love this plane.
The real King of the sky.
This was a terrific video ! Loved it. Watched it start to finish. Such an awesome airplane. Thank you Thank you Thank you !

Unreal, I would love to fly on this!! Truly an impressive aircraft

Absolutely it’s the best of the best!!!!🤩🤩🤩
To me is very interesting how a plane like this can take all the pressure and not break apart, amazing video. Making a such thing be airborne is an art
Cucu Ca True. Especially if you consider that the single piece of cargo was 141 tons heavy!
Love this plane. Got to see it once in person, just awesome!!
Its hard to imagine something this big actually flies!
Danke!
There is something almost poetic about this video.
wonderful air craft.8th wonder of the world.Emperor of all aircraft.
Just when you think they've shown you the whole plane, the cameraman enters another room! I didn't realize just how large this aircraft was! Great video, thanks for posting.
Speechless....love the plane, the crew, the sky, SUPER COOL TEAMWORK. Thanks for sharing guys!!!
Amazing! That bad boy took off effortlessly.
RIP mriya your are only a aircraft for other but for us your legendary♥️
It is hard to imagine all that space and everything in it is a plane that flies.
Probably the most interesting video I've seen on u tube.
It's like watching god coming down from the heavens. Amazing how stable this is compared to the normal A380 and 747.
Human ingenuity, talent and engineering! Those pilots are the Boss!
Absolutamente incrível, estou maravilhado com esta aeronave. Por pouco não a vi em Guarulhos.
Antonov the wide body aircraft is perfect for cargo, carrying oxygen tanks or vaccines to help covid-19 patients on humanitarian missions
The best airplane vid on YT, hats down! great work, subbed a long time ago!
What a beast that thing is. Wow. The engines look small on those wings. Thanks for a great video! It was really educational to see how it's loaded and unloaded as well. Excellent stuff!!
my pleasure! this is one of my favorit aircrafts I really miss her ;(
great flight, great crew, great, wonderful and amazing airplane. Thanks
