Has anyone been lucky enough to see this beast? Not me

There was an AN125 at IAD last week when I landed there. Never seen the 225 though, what a beast!
Quite a tail span, isn’t it?
Quite a large everything!
Kinda’ like ME!
I was going to say “Lucky Mrs An125”…but I didnt go there!
That would have been an Antonov An124
There’s only 1 AN-225 flying. There is another one being prepared for flight but that probably won’t happen in for another few years.
The AN-225 was orginally desgined to carry the Soviet Union’s version of the space shuttle much like NASA uses a 747 to carry the USA’s space shuttles. The AN-225 made only one flight with the shuttle on top of it.
I stand corrected…and hunching a little.
