In Hahn for an airlift freight record; the Mriya would fly a generator weighing 190t to Yerevan. Taxiing in here in typical Hunsrück weather conditions. [Nikon D700 / Sigma 50-500mm]

I must say, since the new paint job I think the Mriya is looking even more huge and beautifull! Love the tail!

The new livery shows its ucranian origin. Looks better this way. T.B.

At rotation speed, much of the weight may already be off the gear. Depending on the wing configuration (angle of incidence and lift device deployment) an a/c could simply start to rise with no rotation given enough speed.

This beast could have even bigger and more powerful engines and be modernized. I'd love it!! Keep her flying!

Such a special plane deserves a flattering paint scheme like this. In Soviet days she looked like a giant polar bear with the black nose; since then she looked very plain, but they have fixed this now. I like the Ukranian theme.
