World's Largest Plane at Niagara Falls Airport


HUGE!   Thought you would find this a bit interesting.

The World's Largest Plane at Niagara Falls Airport.
THIS AIRPLANE WAS AT THE NIAGARA FALLS AIRPORT RECENTLY (TWICE)
TO LOAD LARGE TRANSFORMERS TO FLY DIRECTLY TO SAUDI ARABIA. 
32 wheels! -- Costs more than my house to rotate the tires!
The World's Biggest Airplane, the Russian Antonov 225.
Attached pics are of the Russian behemoth when it landed. 
While they were loading the compressors, 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 dream it.
