That 747-8 is nice but I must say this AN-225 is an impressive beast. I would love to see the landing and take-off. That must be quite a sight.

Thanks for posting that! I would really like to see it!

Where I live in Brewer I see and here them fly out of Bangor on a regular basis. They seem to be moving so slow it's a wonder they are even staying in the air. Most impressive indeed.

I've heard rumbling, hovering aircraft here as well. I assumed it was the C5's. Maybe not. Neat to think it might have been this one.

I just think you're hearing that alien spaceship Ekidokai is always looking for.

Yes, the C5's behave the same way - loud and slow. They look like they're crawling. LOL! It's fun to be under the approach at the end of the runway when one of these big ones come in. :D

While I haven't seen the specs on this, I would imagine landing speed to be around 150 knots or so....about 175 miles an hour. Hard to believe it when you're watching them on final.
