Sad to hear that such a huge piece of aviation history was destroyed. Wish I could’ve seen her fly. RIP AN-225. An iconic life of service. Thank you for delivering crucial medical supplies during the height of the pandemic. Fly in Paradise, peaceful giant This stunning piece of engineering flew in and out of my local airport, Stewart NY, to pick up a very large coast guard helicopter several yrs ago and I’ll never forget it. RIP big guy you will be missed
