The Antonov An-225 is the world's biggest airplane. A colossus - developed in the Soviet Union to carry the Buran Space shuttle. Today it carries other giants such a turbine from Prague, Czech Republic, to a refinery in Perth, Australia ASAP.

I'll look at the video when I get home.   Is this the same Ukrainian one which visited Adelaide not so long ago?

Maybe though I don't recall hearing anything about it.

There is only one of these, so probably.  I remember the fuss when it visited Perth.
