This Antonov An-225 Mriya Landed at the Oakland international airport (runway 30) on September 9th 2018 at about 4:30 PM
I believe the aircraft was hired by the US Government (FEMA) to pick up relief supplies in Hawaii and deliver them to Guam for the Super Typhoon Mangkhut relief effort. It stopped in Oakland California for fuel on its flight from its base in Kiev.
The Antonov An-225 Mriya (Ukrainian: Антонов Ан-225 Мрія, lit. 'dream' or 'inspiration', NATO reporting name: "Cossack") is a strategic airlift cargo aircraft that was designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Ukrainian SSR within the Soviet Union during the 1980s. It is powered by six turbofan engines and is the heaviest aircraft ever built, with a maximum takeoff weight of 640 tonnes (710 short tons; 630 long tons). It also has the largest wingspan of any aircraft in operational service. The single example built has the Ukrainian civil registration UR-82060. A second airframe with a slightly different configuration was partially built. Its construction was halted in 1994 because of lack of funding and interest, but revived briefly in 2009, bringing it to 60-70% completion] On 30 August 2016, Antonov agreed to complete the second airframe for Aerospace Industry Corporation of China (not to be confused with the Aviation Industry Corporation of China) as a prelude to AICC commencing series production.
The Antonov An-225, initially developed for the task of transporting the Buran spaceplane, was 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 oversized payloads. The airlifter holds the absolute world records for an airlifted single-item payload of 189,980 kilograms (418,830 pounds)] and an airlifted total payload of 253,820 kg (559,580 lb). It has also transported a payload of 247,000 kg (545,000 lb) on a commercial flight. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Who else actually searched "largest plane in the world " 😂
you got no like bro :').Here take my like
Thats me
Same br
me stupid boy!
We are crazy 🤪
Fun fact: If we were to convert it into a passenger airliner in the U.S., there would still be absolutely no leg room at all.
Plane designers: how much landing gear do you want?
Pilots: yes
do you need*
Do u need any landing gear for ur Legs 🤣
DA
Imagine how heavy the wake turbulence from this plane is... I think it could blast a cessna to the freaking moon.
Gifarly .M. Afdalash You can hear ATC tell Norwegian air 787 to make a full 360 to give more time to allow the wake turbulence to dissipate.
@CharlieRobloxKerbal r/woosh
I bet it could!😳
@CharlieRobloxKerbal i think u mean 255k km
It's 384,000 km from the Earth
AND FIRST OF ALL HE'S SAYING A METAPHOR
Turbulence don't hit this plane.... this plane hits turbulence...
this plane make turbulence not place a cessna 172 behind it
Steve Jay Lol xD
All planes hit turbulence. I get your joke though lol.
buzz kill
This plane "makes" turbulence! RESPECT!
Antonov 286 Foxtrot: Oakland Tower, FYI, we just took a bird-strike into our number six engine. No emergency to declare at this time.
ATC: Umm, Antonov 286 Foxtrot, can you confirm that was a bird, because Skyhawk November 743 Whiskey Tango just disappeared from RADAR...
antonov: affirm tower, it was a bird, there's slight traces of blood on our engines.
ATC: antonov 286 foxtrot, can you confirm that you have bird feathers on your number 6 engine?

This plane does not actually move forward, it just pushes the Earth to rotate it so it brings the next airport to itself.

That plane looks like it ate another plane for breakfast.
Funny you should say that bcuz the Antonov is used to transport fuselages and parts for other planes. The front comes down like the military cargo planes. Watched some vids...it's amazing.
It Flew to Santiago Chile.with three Blackhawks Helos...
@@veeglover - in the documentary I saw they transported a fuselage to the U.S. there was no hanger large enough for them to pull to, so the unloading was coordinated at the end of an empty runway. It was cold and icy where they landed - seems like it was Chicago, not positive.
Very interesting plane!
The crew walked around the entire plane inspecting for any broken parts. They do an inspection every time they land.
Every. Time.
The AN 225 makes the 737 look like a toy!
As well as the hanger behind it.
Robert Keefer no it doesn't
An old, I suspect even Soviet era, anecdote.
The captain of An-225 says to the crew: "Guys, someone check, what's that noise!" Turned out, they forgot to close an illuminator, and there were several boengs flying around a lightbulb in Antonov's cargo bay.
Ikr and the 737 is preaty big
I saw that LOL

Dimitry Antonov, the pilot of this beast, must feel like a boss when he lands, all the other commercial pilots looking on in envy :)
Wow amazing video! Probably the best filming I've ever seen on the An 225! Smooth and steady. Great zooms. Really got to appreciate it a lot more with the excellent camera work! Thanks for the awesome job Mr camera man!
so that's what that aircraft was! I feel honored to have witnessed this, it was beyond HUGE, everyone on the BART platform just stopped and watched. a breathtaking sight. I kept wondering how could it possibly land at Oakland, and was amazed when it did. I only wish I could have gotten even closer. Thank you for this
Who's Hugh?
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH oops, good looking out, see how excited I was, thanks😊
I'm jealous you got to witness that in person. 😋
envious (i think)
not a native English speaker this side!
That's one of the most extraordinary things about this plane. Fully loaded, I think it can land on a runway just a hair over 3,000 feet.
So sad. One of the most beautiful airplanes ever made.
Great camera work captured this incredible plane. Dont usually bother watching planes but this is worth watching.
At 5:00, that plane makes the Southwest 737 look like a Cessna 172.
Excellent video. I happened to be driving over the Golden Gate Bridge on Monday morning when she flew over, outbound for Hawaii. What a great surprise to see in the air!
I am 91 now a retired TWA capt. I got your email thank you. I never thought I would live this long to see such a remarkable machine. I flew the 747 in 1969 then my true love the Tri-star. At that time in 73 when she rolled in to service I thought I would never see a plane as sophisticated as the Tri Jet. Is it my imagination or am I hearing a buzz saw aft lab noise that could be heard with her center mounted duct air inlet that she had embedded in the tail ? my hearing is not that good and it may be a auditory hallucination to me. I here that sound with this plane.
Hi Brett it is awesome to hear such personal accounts. Hope you have written some of it down somewhere it would be a shame if it was lost in the future.
Cool! Was a few months old when you flying! Spent 25 years working near Pearson and never got tired of watching 747's come and go! Got to see Concorde twice and the 1st Landing of the A380. Got real lucky to see the 225 take off!

I thought this one was fake too. 😂😂
what?
On the contrary sir
Excellent Camera work. I k ew the Antonov was big, seeing it tower over the passenger jets, puts it into perspective.
No kidding. It made that 787 look small!
Too much zoom on the camera...It didn't look like it was moving
I welcome you to use your telephone to take a video the next time it comes to your town.

Dammmn. The Russians know how to build 'em BIG.
I doubt if that plane could carry Rosie O'Donnell and Oprah Winfrey at the same time.

Denny Belbot thank you for the kind words... I’m arguing with a nit picker a couple of comments down...
If the Wright brothers seen that they be amazed
The _length of that Aeroflot_ is longer than the Wright Brothers' first _flight._
dont understand why people think the wright brothers were the first to fly
it's not so much that, but the Wright brothers really brought already existing flight & knowledge to the forefront of aviation and built on the successes and failures of those early aviation pioneers .
A bit of an understatement
Chad Walker The Wright brothers flew the first POWERED flight,, but people have been flying gliders before them
“This is antonov 225 Requesting permission to land on your planet”
Holy moly! You really get the full perspective when it taxied by the Southwest plane at the end. That plane is HUGE!
And realize that the Antonov is behind the terminal that is behind the southwest aircraft
Yup. I didn’t appreciate how big it was until that clip
That Southwest Boeing 737 looked like a baby against Antonov.
Yeah. Even if it stands much closer to the camera it looks tiny..
It went behind him and I started laughing because of how far away it was and still so much bigger from our POV then it went behind the building and I just lost it hahahahaha, That is one hell of a machine.
Yeah, it is one big bird!! lol
lol it made the 737 look like it was the size of a private jet!
Yeah it’s big
The Boeing 737 was like: "Please, don't eat me, Mr Antonov."
I love that ATC is filling in all the “local” traffic. You can tell he’s really excited to have this plane coming to his field...and rightfully so. Long live the AN-225 ✌️
I turned 91 and The Tri Star was my girl. She and I went places you could not get to. I started my career with TWA in 1958 and had a life time of memories with the Tri Jet as she flew her self and me when I napped. In 1991 I was forced in to retirement and wanted to stay with her so I engineered her and let in 93. I had a life time of memories with my wife who passed away and my kids and grand kids. I was a lucky man. I lived for her. The 747 I flew from 1969 to 1975 took me all over but I fell in love with the Lockheed legend and I was forced into retirement and took the engineer spot on the 1011 in 92 , it was not the same. I still take trips American is nice to let me on, I can still fly as a PAX all though my doctor told me to slow down. I lost Rita she passed away on me in 2003 - Flying on a 74 and Tri Star also brings me close to her but they do not operate any longer. I take rides out to the AC grave yard to spend time with the the love I lost a while back,as so be it - the planes sit dismantled and I sit and keep her company hoping for one more run in the left seat.
Bless you Brett. You've been "lucky in love," as they say. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Thank you for your story.
So cool from the tower controller to advise taxiing aircraft about incoming "biggest aircraft of the world". At least it shows he's interested in aviation, which is cool.
I would go as far as to suggest that all individuals working professionally in the aviation industry are interested in aviation~
Unfortunately not all of us are here because of the love and passion for everything aviation. Some are just here to chase the money and it shows.... Pissy attitudes at work.
And sad that the SWA pilot was like. "uh...what is it??". Comon' bro, know your industry.
If you listen closely in the beginning, one of the people speaking says that they'll "drag their feet" to possibly keep that plane in view longer.
@@maxlisska it was the southwest pilot that had just landed and was taxing in.
Antonov, Oakland Tower, runway 30 number two, cleared to land following Cessna 172 on short final. Caution, wake turbulence.
hehehe
You got to watch those damn 4-seaters, they leave the airborne equivalent of a banana peel. Especially if you’re an in-conceivably large space shuttle carrier
172 =lmao
that thing could crush a Cessna with just one of its gears 😂
Da spacibo control tower, comrades in back strap in - ve are vollowink cessna 172, ve hev turbulence comink
I just heard that jet say (get in my belly) to the 737.
RIP Antonov-225 Mriya
Great video and camera work. Love the ATC in one ear and the outdoor sound in the other.
Jeff Stiger Thank you for noticing. I did that so you can listen to either ATC or natural sound and mix it yourself.
Excellent video! High quality video combined with good photography skills.
The AN-225 was beautiful, let's hope its twin flies again.
Pulls up to the fuel pump: May we check your tire pressure too? I've got about 8 guys sitting around with nothing to do. ☺
Someone actually took the time for some decent editing. Well done!
A3Kr0n I put the video on the local news so I did not have time to add music and red arrows pointing to the interesting parts.
DOOD, RESEARCH ON THE AN 225 urself
uhh, nobody talked incorrect facts about the an 225 in this comment's reply section, so.. i don't know what to say.
I'm amazed they can even fly this building.
Nicoĺas Garćia and what was the point of bringing race into this?
Ventura the Ace to cause a debate?
@Nicoĺas Garćia So?
The ending is priceless! Shows just how big that Antonov really is.
That must be a super camera! The distance of the camera and plane is so great that it's speed is barely perceptible yet close up detail is great!
Imagining how our ancestors would react if they see this, "the sky is falling!"
It’s HUGE!! It’s making 737 looks like a matchbox toy.
...The 737 _is_ a Matchbox toy.
I think it may swallow B 737.
...the Antonov pilot sounding casually blase' and cool over the air while everyone else is in awe
The Antonov An-225 is now destroyed.
When it taxis past that hanger and 727 sitting there you can really see how big that sucker is!! It’s so awesome as it taxis it almost feels like watching the arrival of something huge from space.
The airplane in front is a 737, but you get the idea.. The Antonov is behind the building that is behind the 737!
That plane literally has twice as many wheels as an 18 wheeler.
36 ? --- HOW'S MY MATH ?
Only 36?
Excellent video, well done. I’m amazed at how well the focus was maintained etc. Thank you.
They made that landing look so easy! I am still amazed by the sheer size of that beast!
Thks for a great video of it coming in..was hoping someone would catch it. 🙂
Watching it roll past the Southwest 737 gives a great perspective of its size. Referring to comments below - Can you imagine a Cessna 172 coming in after that..."CAUTION - HURRICANE FLORENCE"...
While everyone makes that's no moon jokes in the comments, Obi Wan is the only person who doesn't. Mind blown.
"undercat" - did I just get my ass chewed, or was that a compliment ???? Either way, no worries... No offense taken either way :-)

HA!!! I totally agree with you 😂😂😂😂😂
I saw it coming in to land at Toronto in early 2007. It looked like it was levitating due to its massiveness, and the landing gear was incredible.
Caution wake turbulence.
Attention Earth: Caution Wake Turbulence.
lol
Caution: wake hurricane
on roids!
Antonov 286 Foxtrot: Oakland Tower, FYI, we just took a bird-strike to the number six engine. No emergency to declare at this time.
ATC: Umm, Antonov 286 Foxtrot, can you confirm that was a bird, because Skyhawk November 743 Whiskey Tango just disappeared from RADAR...
Wow what a behemoth! just like my ex-wife
Me too.
why did you dish her?
Imran Haque because she probably left his pathetic ass
I had the privilege of landing after an An-124 at KMWH (Moses Lake, WA). I still recall the tower telling me to land long, very long after the Antonov's turn off. I can only imagine the turbulence 6 of those engines make! Amazing feat of engineering... Thanks for the video
That Captain has balls of steel! Reducing payload - should do something about it.
It is actually easier to fly that than a cessna
30 minutes later all the wheels were stolen and it was on cinder blocks?
AWESOME CAMERA WORK!!!! KUDOS
Yeah, right! Awesome video 👍
I love how the airports have to do sweeps when this thing arrives/departs, just in case the outboard engines blow pedestrians onto the runway.
That plane was unfortunately destroyed during the attack of Russia
I’m still in awe every time I see this plane.Shows ingenuity of man.
I was there at night taking pictures with it!!! I can’t believe I had the opportunity to see it and touch it!!!! It is huge!!!
I was there too. I work at OAK.
This comment would sound way different out of context. Just sayin'.
Thats what she said
Why you lucky devil. I would have given anything to be there too.
Seen it only once, parked in an airport......... until you see it close up parked next to another aircraft, you really cannot appreciate the sheer size of this thing. My first thought when I saw it, how the hell can something that size move, let alone fly.
Makes a 757 look like a kid's toy
The inner child in me always gets really excited when I see creations such this 😁
That ain’t no plane, that an entire planet!
I believe you meant... "that's no moon it's a space station". 🙃 🙃 🙃
I saw smaller planes orbiting around it lol!
Seeing next to the normal sized Southwest plane was such a drastic difference in size! Wow.
Booga04 Minecraft And add to that that the Antonov is behind the terminal that is behind the Southwest ✈️
So glad that I came across your channel! You have a new subscriber! 💛💛💛
Antonov really do know how to make big fucking cargo planes
Oh, Drat!! Had I known, I might have made the 3 1/2 hour drive to see "Mriya," in Oakland, the one -of-a kind Antonov AN-225, literally resurrected from a weedpatch, and not only the biggest real airplane ever, but one of the most beautiful. Great video!
I saw it announced by @flightradar24 on twitter about 24 hours in advance and alerted someone who went to watch it.
I love the millipede landing gear. Need it when your tummy is that long!
The last part or view with B 737 and the building is an amazing shot :) . Great and thank you for sharing!
It carries all spare parts it may need inside including wheels and a crew of mechanics permanently lives and works on board (their apartments are located near the giant tail at the end of fuselage). There is a joke about this plane: Pilots suddenly hear unusual noise and the 12th pilot gets on a motorcycle to go and check where this noise comes from. He comes back in 3 days and reports: don't worry, it is cessna got inside via opened air conditioner vent, flying around one of lamps and making this noise. But, in fact, this airplane blew smaller planes out of their parking lots with its engines several times, for which owner payed charges:) Now, its rout is carefully checked and prepared before each arrival and departure
Even when the AN-124 lands at Moffett field in california... engines 1 & 4 are over the dirt.

Oh I have. There zero infiltration about China building them, as in, present tense as you said. Just some agreements that don't really mean much in the end.
That’s no moon, that’s a space ship
A suborbital space ship -- maybe Jeff Who'd like to buy a few for BlueOrigin to ship their New Shephards around with.
were you going for, "That's no moon, that's a SPACE STATION!!!!" by chance? :) Even if you weren't thanks for the memory hahaha
I thought thats where we all went, a little sideways, but we got there.
It's too big to be a space station
That's no moon, That's an AN-225.
Earth actually moves toward this plane during landings, and away from it when it wants to take off. "Come here... I want to land on you"
What a beautiful, graceful aeroplane.
That particular AN225 airframe was built to carry the Soviet Buran space shuttle, hence the twin vertical stabilisers and six engines (notice front mount nodes on top of fuselage).
Well yeah, there's only one of them in service..
There was only ever one, lol.
It was not "modified", smartass, it was built initially exactly for that single purpose. The capability to carry cargoes inside has always been viewed ad a 'bonus ', but now it's her main job.
Plus they're working on a streamlined pod that'll make use of the Buran mountings so that it can carry stuff that won't fit inside.
Zoid there is a second one, but they never finished it
I hear there is an onboard fire dept, police dept, sanitation department, civil court, convenience store, and stadium.

4:54 imagine being in that southwest plane and seeing that GIGANTIC BEAST casually driving past you. I would lose my mind!
I was in the cockpit of the C5(M) Super Galaxy at Oshkosh this year (and thought that was large) but this one is definitely much bigger! Whoa!
Phil S I saw the C5 as well, awesome aircraft and only second in size after the Antonov. Both fail to surpass the Spruce Goose's enormous wingspan, but outclass it in general size and capacity. If successful, the vast Stratolaunch will surpass both by a considerable margin, but until it does the AN225 is the largest object currently in flight, the largest to take to the skies since the days of the Zeppelin.
Tiernan, the term, "largest object in flight" is not quite accurate.
