Remember driving to the airport in Edmonton when she was dropping off equipment to be taken to Fort McMurray. An incredible sight, people were lined up for kms to see her.
I used to live under the approach path to the local airport and saw her coming in for a landing once. All those wheels... impressive is too weak of a word.
She used to land often in Bangor Maine where she used to pick-up heavy cargo for delivery. I had seen her often and wish now that I would have had my camera to record the visits. I hope she can be restored.
The queen of the skies, the AN-225, will fly again in the future. Even nicer and maybe a bit bigger in the colors of the Ukraine. Ukrainians can do it ! Slava Ukraini forever and ever !
Love you mariya. I had a dream that one day I want to see you in the sky but you gone 😭. Mriya AN 225 is my most favourite aircraft. The aircraft will be placed on the museum for Ukraine pride. I will see you there and I will see your younger sister flying on the sky in the future. ❤️ Love you mriya AN 225 ❤️
In March 2022, I had already written that when a new Mryria is built, I will donate money for the new one. Today I haven't changed my mindM because as Notre Dame in Paris, Mryria is a cathedral.
An-225 Meriya was one of the best planes ever the largest the heaviest and the toughest planes I have ever seen. Meriya was a true fighter for Ukraine, she's having a resting place, her soul is there still alive trying to survive. Meriya was one the most attractive plane, but now . . . REST IN PEACE MY QUEEN 😭😭😭😭😭
I didn’t think that an aircraft that I’ve never flown, or even been a passenger in, could illicit such a heavy emotional response from me. I was lucky enough to spend some time on an AN-124 when we were moving some H-60’s from Norfolk, VA to the UAE and the scale and feeling of that aircraft was incredible so I can only imagine what a thrill it was to feel Mriya rotate and lift off of the runway. This was so unnecessary. Almost as if a child were calling the shots. Like he got embarrassed on the playground so he decided to destroy something that the person who embarrassed him loved as some sort of sick revenge. Not surprisingly, it likely helped to galvanize support for the Ukrainian people amongst those who had up to that point not really declared support for one side or the other. War is so awful. I wish that these narcissistic leaders would finally realize it and stop using it as anything other than an absolute last resort for your own defense. God help us all.
@@Srbenda126 Well , for some reason no one claims Su or migs to be Ukrainian. This logic seems to only work in reverse. When something is achieved by former republics = cause soviet union, if achieved by Rsfsr = Russia jet.
@@irdorath356 if I remember correctly they still have an unfinished hull, so they could built a second version. Maybe more as a symbol then a truly usefull aircraft
@@wenzel9408 Ukraine has a twin-ship of the cruiser Moskwa they sunk. Although nearly finished, in 30 years they never managed to make the last efforts. So with a skeleton of an airplane they can't make use of it aswell

My god, the sight of the destroyed behemoth made me cry.
Such a beauty beast, like moby dick of the skyes. Thank you for the amazing video!
Love you mariya.

I will see you there and
I will see your younger sister flying on the sky in the future. ❤️
Love you mriya AN 225 ❤️
Ukraine 🇺🇦 gonna build more!
Very moving! Great to witness Mryia in action...very sad to see her destruction 😢

The Antonov is my favourite plane. Like everything happening in Ukraine right now, Mriya’s destruction breaks my heart.
Shame. Nevee got to see it in person. I was planning to go to Ukraine in 2024 before the -unspoken country- launched a senseless endeavor.
I have made a pledge to help rebuild Mriya
Super sad to see 😢
What a wonderful plan I wrote an article on it
And she will be again!!! The pride of Ukraine in the flagship aviation.

The Antonov AN-225, or an improved model, will be manufactured in the future.

Honestly if You believe.. you Create. So what you love always Lives
i am crying for my dream and her loss
omg
Is the Antonov factory still operating in Ukraine? If so they can build another one. They probably have all the original blueprints for it.
Second hull exists unfinished , talks about it always pops up and dies down. Needs 500 mil to finish.
Mriya was built by the Soviet Union, even if Ukraine could build it alone they have more dire things to spend money and manpower on
@@Srbenda126 Russian always claim they built it despite not having one lol
@@dukenukem8381 Ukraine built it, but they never could have without Russia and rest of the union. It is a Soviet Union plane, not Russian or Ukrainian

Checkout our last overview of An-225:

say what you want about the Soviets but they sure knew how to build some impressive stuff
😭😭😭😭😭
Shame, but Russia is determined to spoil anything it can in its death throws. I'm sure Ukraine will build another one one day.
It's a shame it was destroyed, but why don't they just build more of them?
No use for spaceship-carrier and blueprints and technologies are lost.

Ruski killed the Ukrainian dream .... Dream to be free
