the AN 225 was carrying two 60-plus-ton rotors from a power plant in Thailand for emergency repairs at Siemens. The rotors come from a combined-cycle, gas-powered plant in the Thai province at the north end of the Gulf of Thailand and are part of the steam turbines that produce electricity from the heat produced by the gas turbines at the plant.

About to fly back to Ukraine. Left later than planned. 11 and a half hour flight now.

That’s an An-124. A fair bit smaller, but still an impressive, and unusual airplane.
