Anyone in Memphis? Go Check Out the Antonov AN-225 freighter

I'm going to see this thing in person one of these days. Just not today.

But for those of you in Memphis, the lone AN-225 freighter is flying in today from Gostomel in the Ukraine. As of 4:30 CDT, the aircraft is now projected to land at about 5:15 CDT.

For those of you who have never seen this wonder of aviation, here's a shot from the Paris Air Show this year.

The huge Ukrainian transport plane, the largest airplane in the world, has a wingspan of nearly 300 feet - the length of a football field.
