The worlds biggest aircraft! Antonov An-225 liftoff at Stockholm Arlanda Airport - General

[QUOTE=NOR_92;34076931]Is it just me, or are gigantic aircraft kind of intimidating? I'm not quite sure exactly what triggers this reaction in me. Maybe the thought of how big and hell-like a potential crash would be.[/QUOTE] I honestly find anything that's FUCK HUGE to be extremely intimidating. Hence why I would probably feel incredibly fucking scared if I stood next to an aircraft like this.

Wow, looks like it's just slowly taxiing down the runway then just goes "yo fuck this imma take off"

[QUOTE=Dr.C;34081539]I know it's the biggest airplane in the world but it doesn't really seem all that big in the video because of the distance. I wish there was something to compare it's size with Oh shit [img]http://www.defencetalk.com/pictures/data/5051/medium/AN-225_31206N.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] That's what I feed my AN-124s too.

what camera did you use?

[QUOTE=Apache249;34084561]That's what I feed my AN-124s too.[/QUOTE] I have an aquarium full of those and also about 10 Su-35s for good measure.

[QUOTE=matty928;34085897]what camera did you use?[/QUOTE]I don't remember the exact model, but it's a canon of some sort

Are you one of these people who stand at the airport taking pictures of all the planes that are landing and taking off? Or is this just a one time thing?

One time thing because of the plane [editline]7th January 2012[/editline] Might go there if an A380 comes, because it's my favorite plane but other than that, no

[QUOTE=xxncxx;34082406]hell you could fit an airliner in one of those.[/QUOTE] maybe a small one, but there's a plane meant for aircraft fuselage transport [video=youtube;jrXfRB5PILs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrXfRB5PILs[/video]

That was awesome!

It looks far less ridiculous than the plane it replaced. [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myasishchev_VM-T[/URL] [IMG]http://englishrussia.com/images/soviet_space_program_vm-t_atlant/6.jpg[/IMG]

A landing strip right behind my house has the super guppy sometimes. We have a hanger specifically for it too. [img]http://jsc-aircraft-ops.jsc.nasa.gov/guppy/images/guppy.jpg[/img] [img]http://tippnews.com/wp-content/uploads/NASA-Guppy-final-ic.jpg[/img] I was under it one time when it was landing, a small highway passes under the landing strip. My truck felt like it was going to rattle apart. Also, yo dog. [img]http://www.af.mil/shared/media/photodb/photos/101214-F-0295S-229.jpg[/img]

That's rather impressive, and intimidating.
