If they're doing their homework, they mean the An-225. If they're idiots, they mean the A380-800 or even 747-400.

Oh, General Electric has a major turbine plant (both power systems and aircraft engines) at RDU. I guess that makes sense. 6 engines == An-225 Cossack.

Quoting Beech19 (Reply 5): I think they did complete the second one didn't they?
I don't think so. I remember reading that the second one had been under construction since the late 80's or early 90's, but that construction was halted for many years. If it did get finished, don't you think that at least SOMEONE on a.net would have heard about it and started a thread?

I doubt if the world will ever see another 6 engined megalifter like the AN225.
Hopefully she remains in service for a long time as I'm a fan of her.
With the engines that are available today, 6 are not needed.

Is there any way for a normal human to get this kind on information easily? It would seem like this guy would really get around, yet if it ever makes it to SAT I don't see how I'll ever know about it.

I'm highly annoyed I couldn't be there to see it. RDU is only a few hours away, but it looks like it would have been tough to get there with the way they reported the traffic trying to get it.

AN-225 Lands at RDU
Very good story and pics about this aircarft and it's visit. I didn't realize that being a crew on this aircraft was like being on a water ship, in that you are often away from home for months at a time, doing your job. More amazing is that RDU (at least as to this aircraft) is spotter friendly, especially in this case.

Quoting 747hogg (Reply 14): The plane is a charter to get Queen Latefa and Monique off to a health spa someplace.
I guess they got the idea after they used it to transport Chris Farley's remains.

Saw this tiny thing at Williams Gateway Airport near Phoenix 2 years ago, it was hauling some giant transformers for the power co. in Phoenix. To say it's big is an understatement! "WTF IS THAT" is what most people say as their jaws drop! Just the most enormous plane that will ever fly, makes the C5-A and 747 on the ramp look normal.

The headline reads: Jumbo jet rumbles in to RDU, leaving some dumbfounded.
I guess 'dumbfounded' is probably an apt description for how the media views aviation.
