Is Antonov 225 Real?

That's cool to see the old school 1940s 6-crew model still working in 2014. They have a captain, first officer, chief flight engineer, flight engineer, navigator and radio operator all in the cockpit. Plus an upper deck passenger compartment full of load masters and maintenance engineers they carry with them everywhere they go. Pretty badass!
 
Saw one at Moffett. It taxied in at dark o clock when I was offloading organs. They pulled up with trucks and used tarps to conceal the load.

There's only one AN-225 in existence. Did it actually come to Moffett once? Or did you see its "little" 4 engine cousin the AN-124 (there's like twenty or so of those flying).
 
Worked this airplane, once and only once... too bad it looks just like a dot like all the others... still was neat to "see" it

What an office

That's a big ____. Did I read that right, life limited to 8,000 hours?
 
Saw this thing at Diego a time or few. Little sis was there on two occasions, as well. They gave me a patch for filing their FP for them. Wish I had the camera gear that I have now. They let me roam around that thing like I owned it.
