I was sitting in school today, when I decided to check Wikipedia to see any recent developments involving the An-225.

My friend must have thought I was nuts, after I leaned over and asked him what colour the stripe was.

Have they finished the second one then?

It's great that they finally got the second one flying!
Looks nice with the blue stripe instead of the red like on the old one.

I'm pretty sure they just re-painted it.

Oh, everything would have been great, had it been the second one! Instead, they painted the old one with that AWFUL blue stripe, and grey underside.

New paintjob... 2nd one does not have the buran support struts on the airframe (see photos on the web)

What are they going to use them for now? Heavy cargo?
