This is the 'big dog'. Notice picture # 4 with
what looks like a space shuttle vehicle. NOTE: It is/was the Russian
space shuttle attempt. They played with it for a while and ran out of
money, having never flown it with people aboard. It was physically a
mirror image of our shuttle, but smaller. THIS
AIRPLANE WAS AT THE NIAGARA FALLS AIRPORT RECENTLY (TWICE) TO LOAD TRANSFORMERS
TO FLY DIRECTLY TO SAUDI ARABIA 32
wheels -- costs more than my house to rotate the tires! TheWorld's
Biggest Airplane,the Russian Antonov 225.
Attached pics are of the Russianbehemoth
when it came into Medford, OR, to pick up two Sikorsky fire fighting helicopters
to take overseas -- $1,000,000
to transport them While they were loading the helicopters, the
Russian pilots
(two crews), went into town to buy cigarettes by the case and Levis jeans. It is
amazing something this huge can stay in the air.The
Wright brothers would never have dreamed it.
