The Antonov AN-225 was destroyed by Russian bombing at Hostomel airport, near the Ukrainian capital Kiev, in late February. The aircraft of the Ukrainian aircraft manufacturer Antonov was the largest aircraft in the world, but now only twisted pieces of metal remain. Pilot Dmitro Antonov visited the wrecked mastodon last weekend that he flew two months ago. “The device was called ‘Mrija’, which means ‘dream’,” said Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko, who also went to view the AN-255. “But we will rebuild our country and our dream.”
