Worlds Largest Airplane






32 wheels! -- Cost more than some houses just to rotate the tires!

The World's Biggest Airplane!!!

Russian Antonov 225

Attached pics are of the Russian behemoth 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.

I wonder how much cigarettes and jeans are in Russia?
