It visted my workplace 3 times to deliver one milling machine. Absolutely dwarfed the Beoing 747s it was parked next to.
Unfortunately we have a 'no cameras on site' rule where I work so I've no photos of it. But even those not interested in aircraft could find it an interesting subject - perhaps someone will use it for a subject in the current weekly competition as the theme is 'Size Contrast'.

I'd love to see that beast actually fly.

any situation in which you can use a Boeing 747 as the "small" item in a size contrast shot has got to be worth the effort!
but it does help
Don't know if you are aware, but that AN-225 is actually the ONLY one ever built, originally to carry the Ruskie space shuttle.

I've never seen it, but might just take a drive over Derby way on Saturday !!!

When I am taxying past LHR T3 the Singapore Airways or Emirates A380 dwarf everything else. Even living below the flight path of the southern runway I can tell an A380 just because of it's size. It's also easy to mark out the B777 and A340 due to their length (both are longer than the 747)....
