Spoted.. WOW!

Went to Alicante last Friday and when we came in to land we passed an Antonov 225 parked on the apron..

I was so amazed (and not sitting at the window) I forgot the camera..

During the week in Benidorm the local English paper had a feature about it saying the monthly 18,000Euro charge for it was cheaper than flying it back to the Ukraine.

I thought the 747 I saw at Malaga airport a few years ago was impressive but that thing is HUGE in real life!

According to Wikipedia, there's only one in service. Quite rare.

If its the same plane I saw parked there a week ago it was an Antonov 124-100
