3 cents litre off Shell gas would make a difference with that monster.

Impressive. But that's not even the largest one:

Yup, the AN-225 was in a league of its own. A behemoth.

There's a picture of the destroyed plane on Pelican. There was a story of rebuilding it but after seeing the picture I doubt it

That 124 goes to Hamilton frequently, it’s super cool to see up close. My son and I have watched it offload cargo a few times, it’s amazing how much it can carry. The 225 has been destroyed. My son and I built this model last year.

They are awesome.
I still prefer the C-5, but I'm the minority.

We chartered them to move the big stuff overseas.

Seized due to the Russia Ukraine situation?

SToronto

Yes

This plane brought Covid-19 tests to Canada, ordered by Canadian Government.

SToronto

Yes and got caught up in the airspace restrictions.

I just saw Eclipse yesterday. Had no idea who owned it. That thing is HUGE.

Seems wrong to seize a plane that brought medical supplies that you ordered.

No sympathy to be found here. On the wrong scale I think invading a sovereign country and trying to bomb its citizens into submission ranks a little bit higher than confiscating a plane.
