The giant Russian plane due to land at Fairbanks International Airport Tuesday morning is the only one its kind flying today. It was designed to carry the Russian version of the space shuttle. While that program was canceled, the AN-225 has carried loads that don’t fit in any other aircraft.

The plane is expected to land at about 10 a.m. and depart at midnight, bound for Haiti, by way of Miami. It is flying from Tokyo, the state Department of Transportation said, with 250,000 pounds of earthquake relief equipment.

Missed it when it was here, but saw it some years back when it stopped in Anchorage at Elmendorf AFB about two days before the fall of the Soviet Union, had two fighters with it and they were going to an Air Show in Canada, but they had an open house on it, they had to turn around and head back before the air show after the fall of that Government....

I think that the "Spruce Goose" is still bigger than that one though, don't know for sure but that seems to stick in my mind.
