Dang!

According to news reports, it appears that a Russian attack on a Kyiv airfield in Ukraine has unintentionally destroyed the hanger where the plane was undergoing routine repairs and maintenance. Ooops! The Russian AN-225 was reportedly worth 3 billion dollars, and was the only model of that type to have ever been built. Russian or not, it was a spectacular and awesome airplane.

What a waste of a beautiful aircraft.

The May 2022 issue of Airliner World has a ten-page article on the An-225. It's the cover story of the issue.

"Restoring a Giant Plane: Ukrainian Resilience or Folly?
Ukraine, with far more pressing needs, plans to rebuild the colossal Mriya cargo plane, a symbol of pride that was destroyed last year in a battle for its airfield."
