There's only 2 in the world and that is the only flying example. All I know about who operates it is that they are based in the Ukraine.

I think that Antonov Design Bureau operates them. The An-124 Ive seen plenty of, theres one grounded at Brussels. Have it in plenty of my photos, one where a Singapore Airlines 747 is landing with the other giant behind it.

Great pics Eno!  ;)

One is flying (UR-82060)
Other one is mothballed halfway construction, but it looks like they are going to complete it due to high demand.
Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones),  Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and [url=http://an24.uw.hu/]An-24RV[/ur

I was thinking about you EGNX ......... you obviously don't watch East Midlands Today. They had the item saying it was there the night before.

Remember to think about me, too ;) EGNX is the nearest international airport to me, so it's nice when something drops by. I've only ever seen the AN124 there once, and that was just the tail sticking over the embankment.
