powered by six turbofan engines. The Antonov An-225, initially developed for the task of transporting the Buran spaceshuttle, is an enlargement of the successful Antonov An-124. The first and only An-225 was completed in 1988. After successfully fulfilling its Soviet military missions, it was mothballed for eight years. It was then refurbished and re-introduced, and is in commercial operation with Antonov Airlines carrying over-sized payloads. The airlifter holds the absolute world records for an airlifted single item payload of 189,980 kilograms (418,834 pounds) and an airlifted total payload of 253,820 kilograms (559,577 pounds). It has also transported a payload of 247,000 kilograms (545,000 pounds) on a commercial flight.

HISTORY UPDATED - Stored at Victorville, CA, USA. Feb-21.

Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 03-Mar-21.

Fleet No: "932".

First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWYB, this aircraft was delivered to Air Canada as C-GFAH in Oct-99. It was badly damaged when it fell off the jacks during a major maintenance check at Singapore-Payar Lebar (QPG) on 30-Nov-16. It was repaired and returned to service in early Feb-17. The aircraft was withdrawn from service and stored at Victorville, CA, USA in Feb-21. Stored, updated 29-Apr-21.

Note: I'm unsure if it's been stored due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic or because it's 21.5 years old and due for retirement... (29-Apr-21)

To the Swedish Air Force in 1975, it was struck off strength in May 1984. It had been with the Swedish Air Force Museum at Malmen Airbase since 1982 before traded for Spitfire PR Mk. XIX PM627 in the USA. The aircraft went to new owner Military Aircraft Restoration as N5467Y. Sold as N56V in 1996, it has been preserved at the Tillamook Air Museum (Later moved to the Erickson Aircraft Collection in Madras OR).
