Antonov AN-225 Last flight ever from Billund BLL Denmark - Now destroyed

[@martindammable]

I can't believe I was one of the lucky ones to get access to the plane during unloading. The sheer size of it when standing next to it is almost unfathomable. When it took off I was at the other end of the runway from this video. I remember the traffic was almost standing still, and every time a lorry or a bus would come close you would get that sinking feeling in your stomach. Luckily the view wasn't obstructed, but I could have done without the hail shower. Learning that it had been destroyed made me very sad.

[@davidreetham7437]

As a regular visitor to Denmark, mostly via BLL Aiport, as well as an aircraft nerd, to see that amazing aircraft broken in its hangar is truly heartbreaking. Yes, the human tragedy completely outweighs the destruction of this plane - after all this can be rebuilt (albeit with a lot of money), it is only a thing. However it represented what people CAN do when we work together and come up with GOOD ideas. To see the destruction of this amazing plane in the light of that, knowing as well that it was the pride of Ukraine is what really makes me angry with this senseless destruction. I really, really hope that when the dust eventually settles (and I really believe it will) then the AN225 is resurrected to ply the world trade routes again, to show the world and those horrible people in the Kremlin that there IS a better way.

Does B52 with its 8 engines have more thrust than this planes? Or are there any other planes that have more thrust then Antonov 225?

[@TheStefanskoglund1]

Depends at least of version of the B52. The H is compared with the earlier ones something else. I believe B-52H pilots transitioning from the older ones were warned the enginges had FAR more thrust than the D for example. Compared with the D, 40 % more from one engine. Though one of each of the D-18T turbofans on the 224 has about the same thrust as 3 of the B-52H's TF33 turbofans, so three of those has far more thrust than a B52-H

[@ernstmarkus]

Thank you Billund! This is really great! From 4:30 the tail gets some pressure from the engines and starts to dance. How was the wind behind the engines? Great one, thank you!

It was a very windy day, but when they started up, i could really feel the power from this monster :-D

[@PikkaBird]

Notice at 5:59 the engines blow the water off the roof. That building is at least 250 meters behind the engines, maybe close to 300 meters. @@Togkanalen You could feel the engine wash from way over there? That's gotta be close to a kilometer away from the plane! Amazing indeed. I was there that day, but on the other side. It was too bad it left empty because that made it take off with plenty of runway to spare and it climbed quickly and was partially obscured the clouds (as seen in the video) before it even passed over Båstlundvej. We did get to see it pass overhead but it vanished fully into the clouds shortly afterwards. And to think we had clear skies shortly before takeoff and again a little later. What a cruel joke.

[@PikkaBird]

It definitely took off way earlier than you would expect. But the cargo hold was empty for this flight so of course that helped immensely. But it was a little disappointing for those of us who were waiting at the takeoff end of the runway that it vanished into the clouds so quickly (we had clear skies earlier that day and again later on. Shit luck really).
