Seen it (and been in it) before, tis a big bugger.
Hangs in the air the same way bricks don't.
Lots and lots of wheels.

I want to go and see it but don't fancy the traffic if 50k other people are going too......

I saw an interview with Dicko, sitting in his pilots seat, in pilot outfit. He actually looks like an airline pilot.
Rock on.

Re: An-225 landing in Perth on May 15th
Wow, now that was impressive
Fortunately the wind changed direction this morning and it came in from the north. We watched it from a park next to the army base in South Guildford - about a km from the runway threshold. It came in right over us
My son took some great video which I will post when its edited
I reckon the take-off on Tuesday will be pretty cool too

Kind of difficult to really get the feel for this unless you are underneath it at the end of the runway.
Home to the airport at that time of day shouldn't be too bad.
