Ukraine is building a second An-225!!!

Found this whilst searching on another site

For those of you who dont know what it is its the largest aircraft in the world capable of handling over 250tons of cargo, traveling at 850kmh with a max range of 15, 400km...

Now thats impressive

Its quite impressive that they are building a new one. The current one is booked for a few years in advance, and it is doing a lot of AID related flying, it brought goods to Iraq and probably is now working on South East Asia.

this is the current one
