Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

fortunatly Mria is not so noisy as it looks

 

Never knew about the 325.
The 124 is the biggest I have loaded as the big brother seen in your pictures has never been available for charter when needed.
I believe they have another 124 air frame but never completed it.

 

they have another 225 but never completed, it is 60-70% completed , have one vertical stabiliser and rear door as 124, they announce they will finish it in 08 and again cancel in 09 as there is no too much need for such plane

also there is fuselage at svyatoshino airport, 20km from antonov base , of an124 from 1981 it was used for static tests many confuse it with never finished 225


last pictures from unfinished 225 are from 09 when there was presentation of an148

 

really there is no reason to complite this plane... becouse it may dump shiping costs down. They have nearly ready plane to be complited in moment when market needs it.

Mria shares many air frame parts with Ruslan. It is much longer. and they use dual stabilizer to fit load on top.

 

this was charged 3 000 000$ from croatia to philippines

 

That's my kinda rate.....!

 

Mria was built in 80-s for Russian spase program, but Buran project was too expencive, so project was canselled

 

I read somewhere (maybe it was airliners.net) that the Antonovs carry a 20 man tech team with them

 

The pilots Wouldn't want to leave there full can of coke in the cup holder of that 225 when they tilt the cab like that , could get messy 😜

 

The ####pit doesn't tilt. Just the nose
