Went out to Williams-Gateway airport this morning. Took some pics of the Antonov AN-124 a HUGE transport jet (although they have now made a larger one) Wingspan is over 240 ft ! It leaves tonight to go back to Russia. Boeing (and others) lease it out to move LARGE loads.

I saw that thing fly over Abu Dhabi once. It looks as big as a city in the air but the pilots bank it like fighter. The one aircraft larger than this one is the AN-225 and there is only one of them flying to the best of my knowledge
