Does anybody have any info about An-225 number two?
I found this pic on airliners.net
http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=0699985
Is there any other pics of this aircraft anywhere?

Construction continuation is 'by market demand'

Considering that this one isnt exactly a real production type (which the An-124 is, with another 10 on order) you arent going to see much progress... but it will be finished sometime in the future

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Did somebody say my name? Cheesy

Well I'm happy to hear that they will finish the construction in the future. Gonna have my trillions (or for you uninformed civilians) my millions out to buy the 1st/2nd plane. Smiley

Hmmm... due to its size I can estimate that it would cost...roughly 400 million US placing it just over the E-4B. Double that and $800 mil. Add to the fact that russia won't want to give up that plane and it becomes roughly 1 billion to purchase both. Wink

I doubt you could buy the AN-225 for 400 million $. I'd say 180-280 million, or even less. Though, I doubt Antonov (or whoever owns it?) would sell it.

*cough* Yes it would. *cough* The E-4B, which is a 747, costs $250 mil US. A 747 costs, $200 mil US. An An-225 which is MUCH larger than a 747 should cost in upwards of about $350 mil. US. And also that is why I added the extra 200 million to bribe Antonov to let me buy it. Grin

Sooo much refurbishing involved. And since its the most beautiful design on Earth (Sorry Super Connie!) I HAVE to buy it. And then a model of it. Any one know where I can get a model of the 225? Wink

Bigger doesnt mean its more expensive. I mean, a ferrari is small and it costs a couple hundred thousand. A big truck, like a chevy or something, is only 30, 40, or 50,000 at the most

Ah thank you Sir. Crashalot! I must have missed that miniature An-225 during the 350, 000, 000, 00 times I have searched google for one. Grin

All the rest were expensive mahogony models that I couldn't afford. Wink

And Jakemaster I see what you're saying...but think of the materials used on it. SIX engines. VAST amounts of metal. 32 heavy duty rubber tyres. Wink

Again, bigger doesnt mean better. Lots of metal, but what kind of metal? Some is cheaper than others. 6 engines, but how much is each engine?

Just because its bigger don't assume it costs more. Avionics? Think of what a new 747 has and compare it to what the AN225 has, most likely the avionics cost more in the 747.
