    So I have been trying to track the schedule of this plane and it seems next to impossible.

    Does anyone have a website or way to track this plane? I have tried using Flightaware but it does not have future flights. The closes I have is FlightRadar24 showing me a couple of flights today but nothing more.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Plane:Antonov An-225 Mriya
    Registration: UR-82060

    He is looking for "future flights", not flights that have already taken place. ;)

    That's probably the CLOSEST you're going to get... future flights?

    Neat plane. I heard they were going to commission a second one since the first one is so booked up.

    There's one in and out of KCHS all the time. It took off in front of me not long ago.

    That's probably an An-124 (4 engines), not an An-225 (6 engines).



    They built two An-225's, the other one is sitting in a junk yard rapidly decaying... can't find a pic at the moment.


    The An-225's were designed to carry the Soviet 'Space Shuttles'... we used 747's for that.

    Kinda like there are two Lun-class Ekranoplans, but people seem to think there is only one (the one parked outside) and don't know of the one indoors that is 90% complete. :)

    I want both unfinished large projects, plus a Buran. :)

    So this is an awesome update, I saw the plane!

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrVn-61DQE4&spfreload=10]Antonov an-225 taking off from toronto - YouTube[/ame]

    It made a trip to Toronto and thanks to some of the groups I joined I heard about it. Toronto covered it incredibly as well, we had helicopter footage of it taking off!

    I can't believe that you can't find this monster. Kidding, of course. I was fortunate to see this apparition at the Abbotsford Airshow in 1990-91. They took off on the north-south runway (I can't remember the compass headings) heading south and no more cleared the southern confines of the airport when they initiated a hard left turn and performed an almost vertical 360 back to the runway from which they took off. They then made a touch and go as if they were a Cub.Then flew to the south east and turned again to make a landing on the short east-west runway and parked it. We wondered how many thousands of pounds of fuel were consumed in this spectacular display. We learned later that day that the Russian crew was living aboard the airplane including a shower. When we were allowed to tour the interior we could see a spare engine and a stack of spare wheels that would replace any of those whose tires had reached the replacement stage. And rightly so because the main landing gear was not articulated and they were all identical from one side or the other and they simply scrubbed the tarmac when they turned the airplane. We could see the tears 90 deg to the tread when we looked at the wheels. When we took off for home and over-flew the airplane where it as parked, we could see the black scrub marks of the tires on the ramp where they turned to park. Equally shocking were the aerobatic Yaks and Suk. airplanes that put on an incredible show. That entire airshow was an awakening.

    I saw this beast fly at Farnborough in 1990. But not before it had to taxi under its own power to the staging area for the aircraft flying in the airshow, after the only tow-bar in England capable of towing it had broken!
